According to a report from Xbox World magazine, the controller will be "an HD screen surrounded by the traditional 360 buttons and sticks." The magazine goes on to state that the controller “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."

So if the rumours are to be believed, then the next-gen Xbox Controller will feature a touchscreen controller similar to the Wii U console. Personally I think it is a bit of a gimmick, and that Microsoft has acted too early in an attempt to beat Nintendo at their own game.
