I can take my Pi with in a some carrying case, how is the Xbox1 in portability?

I agree educational use of the Pi far outweighs the emulator uses of it. It helps starting at a young age, but I didn't start until I was 18, and that was on a SDK8085, I wonder how many programmers who designed and programmed Mainframes start at young age? I have some good friends who program Video games and none of them started until their teens at the earliest. The hardest thing is getting people interested in programming on a computer, I have seen far too many people change from programming over the years.
