A lot of the new tech features for Xbox One seem to include incorporating the player to the console even more than ever before. The rumors on what the new Xbox controller would be have been circling around the web for a while now, and a lot of those theories included an HD screen to be incorporated into the center of the controller. Xbox World Magazine said it would imitate the Wii U in this fashion.
The reveal showed something completely else. The new Xbox controller will have:
- 40 design innovations
- a new battery compartment
- new impulse triggers
- and a new redesigned D-pad.
Most importantly, no HD screen will be added to it. The Xbox One will feature voice commands, powered by the Kinect, and this may be part of the reason it does not need this screen. On the other hand, since the Wii U didn’t do as well as Nintendo hoped, it’s not terribly surprising they didn’t mimic it.
