According to the report (not rumor), the new 720 will be using a touchscreen controller. Personally, if that is true AND the 720 can't play used games, I'm going with Sony. Your thoughts?

I dunno, I prefer actually holding a controller, it feels more comfortable. Also, their attempt to integrate Kinect worries me... (not a Kinect fan obviously lol)

From what I read this isn't entirely true, the controller will have a touchscreen built into it (think nintendo DS), I almost got the idea that they are considering doing the info screen on the controller that one of the old dreamcasts attempted.

I have to agree though, I don't like the direction MS is going, I might be switching to Sony if Microsoft goes the way of Nintendo...

I wouldn't trust IGN to relay the daily weather in Animal Crossing, let alone anything happening in this world. Your report is a rumour, no matter how much you preface it otherwise.

An exerpt from your linked article:


Unattributed Quote:


"Microsoft are experimenting with a tablet-like controller with a shape closer to Sony's sleek Vita handheld / Apple's iPad than Wii U's bulky unit," reads a report from Xbox World Magazine, "it's an HD screen surrounded by the traditional 360 buttons and sticks."



Personally....I could see myself buying one of these, if I had the money (and the time to enjoy it) I'd have a Vita right now.

I feel MS could make this work but at the end of the day I still prefer an original controller, making an attatchent into the back of the controller (think N64 but with more functionality) could probably satisfy the tablet/controller issues that I feel Nintendo is going to have with WiiU

Sega failed a lot but damn if the Dreamcast was well ahead of it’s time, too bad it died a slow painful death. I loved that remote!

I will either stick with my 360 or go to PS. I don't really want anything to do with Kinect and the Wii-type touch screen thing is just ridiculous IMHO.
