In the latest issue of Xbox World Magazine, sources are reporting on the controller for the Xbox 720.  According to the magazine, Microsoft has been experimenting with a tablet controller with "an HD screen surrounded by the traditional 360 buttons and sticks."

 

The report goes on to describe some of the possible uses for the new pad.  "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."

 

Furthermore, the magazine describes the console as a "matt-black media hub with a mission to bring games to life in your living room with augmented reality, directional sound, and a four-player, finger-tracking Kinect."

 

The rumors keep on flying in about Microsoft's next console.  What do you think of this recent development?  Sound off in the comments or discuss it in our forums.
