(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Rumors been going around saying Microsoft might be announcing a new console at this years CES. Microsoft has not yet said anything about a console but, has announced that they will partner up Amtel to launch a new generation gaming controllers. Gamers, meet the maXTouch S which is said to be windows 8 and windows phone 8 certified. the controller will offer an intuitive touchscreen.

G4TV said this:

"We're not trying to insinuate this tablet will be the next controller but it certainly makes you wonder. Now that Microsoft has a relationship with a company capable of delivering exactly what they need, what's stopping them? A touchscreen controller, in theory, could unite Microsoft's mobile branch with it's gaming branch. (Synergy and stuff.)"

So, do you think touch screen controllers/tablets be a good thing or a fail? Give your input.

Bring both of them, I don't care if you are trying to make the new Xbox more ''familial'', but I do care if you don't care about gamers too.

I don't think it'd be any good imv, for me, half of the experience is having the controller in my hand, feeling the vibration of something I've just done, whether it's shot someone, scored a goal, tackled someone, without that, it'd just feel like some crap pub quiz type game.

I cant see this being a big hit, I honestly believe the controllers we have now will be used forever.

This would be epic!

This would have so many more downsides than upsides, and as a guess they would break alot easier aswell :/ any pictures yet?

i hope not

that would be so sick if they did it!

No, it wouldn't cause on a touch screen you always have to look down...

My GOD your siggy is hot. :megusta:
