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 think its a cool idea, but it will not just be so good. 100% sure the buttons arent going to always respond when u hit them. If they still let us use the regular one that would be perfect.

Jordan355You completely missed the point of his comment *facepalmDipshidiot636 Why would they do something stupid like that? If I wanted a touch screen controller I'd get a Wii-U. Plus it would just be extremely awkward and clunky trying to play a game. Its just a bad idea all around.
Then you wouldn't be able to go on xbox live or even play xbox games for that matter if you got a Wii-U.

It would be cool but i dont think Microsoft would do that just because the price to build and manufacture something like that would be far to expensive and the price they would sell the controller would sky rocket i think it is already overpriced at 50 dollars but if they incorporated a touch screen the price would double especially if it turns into a tv remote and web browser... the price would triple. So at this point i dont think microsoft would do something like that when they are trying to stay focused on the next big console not controller

Maybe you get a touch screen controller and a regular controller when you buy the new Xbox?
