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.

that would be annoying. with buttons you can easily press down but with touch screen, you would have to take your finger off then back on to press instead of press press press...

Just to Let you Guys Know ut will be the Guide Button only that is touch center due to the fact that the controller would break easily if every button was touch + Everything for in-Game would become Mega Senstive

TTg_cntbanusalli think the touch screen is not NEEDED its fine as it is.Explode 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.yeah they should keep the same controller inlike the one they have now.
Yes it'd be a good extra but they should stick to a usual controller, like what every other consoles had.
They also said this about the wii U too.
