Not likely... Windows 7 phone will have middling LIVE interactivity and some mediocre looking phone games, but the market is too crowded right now for a serious contender. They seem to be focused on Kinect, and to a lesser extent, their new phone.
About one-quarter of handheld sales and a significant chunk of handheld software comes from the Japanese market. I don't see Microsoft ever being successful there.
It's very unlikely at this point. Nintendo and Apple are making it hard for anyone else to have any relative success with their current and upcoming business structures.
