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.

It is stated that the controller would still have the buttons on it, just an additional touch interface, so to all those panicking about that.... dont!! However the idea is a bit far fetched as the thing most people are over looking is the factor of battery consumption! Think of the idea behing the wii u controller, then the size of the actual unit due to incorperating the technology, and the battery power needed to keep it alive for a period of gameplay time!! Microsoft would be unable to produce a pad with the original buttons, shape and feel whilst also fitting in a touch display....not gonna happen, which is why this is just a RUMOUR!!!

Slappp_x this is stupid a touch screen controller would just be rubbish, i mean imagine holding an iPod instead of your controller to play games.
I've dropped my controller more times than I can remember. If they're gonna bring touch-screen controllers into the next Xbox, it's gonna cost me the revenue of a small country to play.

This is stupid... I would hate not having the actual feel of pressing the button, on a phone it's fine but on a controller or something like a keyboard just no.
