Rumour: Next Xbox 720 Experimenting With Tablet Controler
According to the rumour, the screen will be closer to the PS Vita size as apposed to the larger Wii U screen.
Recent scans for the latest issue of Xbox World magazine have surfaced and according to the magazine we will be seeing a new Xbox and Kinect at this years E3. This has long been speculated but there is still no confirmation from Microsoft. There was another big rumour in the magazine however; Microsoft is experimenting with a tablet touch screen that will be built into the controller. According to the article, the screen will be closer to the PS Vita size as apposed to the larger Wii U screen. Here is how the rumoured tablet is suppose to function: "an HD screen surrounded by the traditional 360 buttons and sticks, That touchcreen will be second only to Kinect in how you operate your console, It could be a remote control when you're watching TV, a browser when you're on the internet, extra buttons and information when you're playing a game or a portable display when you want to take your game with you."This is similar to a rumour that popped up last month from that indicated the same thing that Microsoft is looking into tablet functionality with their next console. Again this is just a rumour and nothing has been confirmed but Microsoft is fond of copying the competition; the Kinect was Microsoft's answer to motion controls. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if this rumour is true, in fact I would probably be more surprised if there is no tablet functionality with the Xbox 720. What do you think will Microsoft have a tablet in their next-gen controller?
