Xbox World magazine has recently published some rather bold claims about Microsoft's upcoming game console in its latest issue. Sources cited by the publication said that the Xbox 720 will support a souped-up controller, which touts an HD touchscreen besides traditional analog sticks and buttons. The design is pretty much similar to the Nintendo Wii U's own tablet controller, though the Microsoft version is said to be of a size that's closer to Sony's PS Vita.

According to the Xbox World article, this Xbox touchscreen controller also doubles as a TV remote control, a Web browser, as well as a panel for displaying software buttons and game information. To up the overall gaming experience, the Xbox 720 has also been rumored to offer augmented-reality capabilities, directional sound and an improved Kinect accessory. The new Kinect is able to track up to four players simultaneously with enough precision to pinpoint users' fingers.
