Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox will use controllers that have “an HD screen surrounded by the traditional 360 buttons and sticks,” according to <em>Xbox World Magazine</em>. The magazine claims Microsoft’s tablet-like controller will have shape closer to Sony’s PS Vita than <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/06/07/nintendo-unveils-wii-u-gaming-console/">Wii U’s “bulky unit”</a>. The next Xbox “will be a matte-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 new controller will apparently also be used as a remote control when watching TV, a browser for the Internet or for extra buttons while playing a game. Earlier rumors suggest that the next generation console may be <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/01/25/xbox-720-may-be-six-times-more-powerful-than-the-xbox-360/">six times more powerful than the current Xbox</a>, however it is <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/01/30/xbox-720-will-not-launch-this-year-microsoft-exec-says/">not expected to launch this year</a>. The publication speculates that the console could be priced over $600. “Microsoft are playing it safe with the CPU and GPU but running wild with the functions that will change how you play, but it won’t be cheap,” the site claimed.
