Next-gen Xbox controller near identical to current unit - report
Unnamed 'sources' have apparently told Kotaku that prototype versions of the new console's controller, which are currently in the hands of developers, are much the same as the Xbox 360 controller.
Aside from being 'a little smaller' in overall size, the new controller apparently features the same twin-analogue setup and button layout, including the centrally-positioned Home button, analogue triggers and d-pad.
The new Xbox controller is also said to be void of any new input mechanics, unlike the Wii U, which has a touch screen, and the PS4's DualShock 4, which will feature a touchpad, lightbar, speaker and numerous other new features.
Kotaku also reports that Microsoft has covered its next-gen Xbox hardware prototypes in black and white-stripped patterns, possibly to deter leakers as each one could contain a slightly different - and, crucially, traceable - pattern.
It has been speculated that Microsoft will announce its next-generation Xbox platform at a special event in late April.
The next Xbox, codename Durango, is said to utilise an AMD eight-core x64 1.6GHz CPU, a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics solution and 8GB of DDR3 RAM.

Relations They should put the thumbsticks next to each other, like PS3. It's easier for trickshotters
That's the reason the PS3 controller sucks so much

TheYungSwagent I Don't Really Care About The Controller

Bulb I don't think it really needs any changes although I do like the PS3 controllers thumbsticks being next to each other more.
i personally think that it makes it harder to play, the xbox thumbsticks are in a more natural position.

I think its good theres no major changes, this way we will not have to get used to a new one.

Activez-M60Asif I'm honestly really glad they're keeping it original and similar. The Xbox controller right is honestly good enough for me and many others and I think a change wouldn't be in favor for a lot of people.
They like to make there users happy so i think they will keep it
Tbh they don't need to make it any smaller. It's perfect the way it is.
yea if it is smaller i hope they let u use the old xboxes controller
