Rumor: Next Xbox to have touch-screen controller
Computer and Video Games reports that according to the newest issue of the UK print magazine Xbox World, the controller for the Xbox 360 successor will have some type of touch screen. The story claims that the design of the controller will look like "an HD screen surrounded by the traditional 360 buttons and sticks."
The story also claims that the touch screen will change its user interface depending on if it's used to play a game, or act as a remote control for the television or even to surf the Internet.
Quite frankly, this rumor sounds a bit far fetched, especially as Microsoft has been pushing hard on making its Kinect motion gesture and voice activated technology the controller of the future. There's also the fact that the Xbox 360 controller has been called by many the best game console controller ever made.
Still if Microsoft can come up with some interesting ways for a touch screen to work with a controller without making it as bulky looking as Nintendo's Wii U controller it might be worth looking into.

I highly doubt they'll actually go ahead with this, it just isn't efficent for gamers and the price would just be too much.
Yes it'd be a good extra but they should stick to a usual controller, like what every other consoles had.

This is going to be way too expensive. The controller with an HD screen will be like $100-$180 (around, average) then the new xbox being 8 times better. Cost like $400-$500+ who knows?

WTF man, why change what they have perfected. i doubt there gonna put a powerful enough CPU in a controller to play a screen on it. and if they did i bet a replacement would cost around 120 (GBP) the controler from the xbox 360 is amazing, the only thing i would ask microsoft to change about the controller is the durability of the thumbsticks.
