Do we have any real idea what's happening? Rumours are always rife pre E3. The OP suggests something bigger.
If it has paddles I actually wouldn't mind as long as they're both in the neutral position like the Wii U Pro controller.

Maybe streaming UWA games from PC to XB1, and implementing mouse and keyboard support on the XB1?
All I have to say is that if MS try to come out with a new Elite Xbox One that's basically still the Xbox One but with a bigger harddrive , new elite controller & other small extras for $399 or more & Sony has the PS4 Neo with 3X the GPU power for the same price they are going to look bad.
Please no. Don't waste a button on something like that. Just include a mic on the controller. "Xbox Record That" is a much better method than a button. And would be useful for so much more like pausing videos, navigating the console etc

This would be a great idea. I love my Forza 6 controller. I cannot go back to the others after using that grip.
Sony also invented the wheel.

Is that in response to these rumors?

It's time to bring back the true GOAT controller.

This controller is actually amazing for N64 emulation. You can use B, Y and the B/W buttons as the 4 C buttons.

Weird, the X1 controller is pretty great. Can't think of anything big that needs fixing, and with the amount they allegedly spent on the current controller you'd think they'd leave well enough alone.
On the other hand it'd be great if Sony made a new controller for Neo. Get rid of that useless battery-sapping light and up the build quality a bit. Scrap the rubbery sticks for something more like the X1 sticks.

Microsoft have used the elite name already for the Xbox One. They just gonna refresh it. I believe the current model didnt do so hot so they about to really make an ELITE Xbox one

the light is needed for psvr. its not going away. also i'm pretty sure its been debunked that it actually noticeable affects battery life.

Another controller?!
I hear tons of good things about the pro controller.... I wonder what redesign they have in mind?!

I would actually, for now anyway.
Personally, I just think a new console this year is just a bit too soon. I want to play Sea of Thieves, Recore, Scalebound, Gears 4, Cuphead and the rest on the console I have already have.
Yep. Same thing if Sony came out at this point and said "lol PS4 Neo".
It's just a button, how it functions is down to software. And no.
X1 controller is the best controller around, I see this move as MS trying to keep up that trend. Elite is untouchable.

Yeah , the fact he made any comment leads that the stuff found is pretty legit.
As long as their approach is similar to Sony's, you'll be able to.
You would also be able to play those games on an hypothetical Xbox One v2, with better resolution/framerate.
I can't imagine Microsoft not following Sony on the iterative console business, there is just way too much money to be made.
I can see the PS4 Neo retailing for 400$MSRP, the current Xbox One will be a terrible value proposition unless MS drops the price of the Xbox One even further.
Touch panel.
Dear chadskin: Don't bother wasting time and making connections where there are none.

Needs symmetrical sticks and the Vita d-pad then it would be the perfect PC controller.

Yeah but I don't want to feel like I need to pay £350 to play a 'better' game. I've been looking forward to playing those games since I bought my Xbox and a new console is just a curveball too far. Just my own opinion though, obviously.
Might as well stick a joystick on it too.
That's a great call and I betcha you are right.
Alright looky here friend. I have the Elite controller, in fact I made the OT for it. I like it a lot. I would like it even more if it had a dedicated button for taking screenshots/videos and sharing them on the web.
You know what would be just great? If the new XBOne controller is just the XB360 controller, and it works with the XBOne.

Question is: when does Microsoft look good this gen? Too many promises, too many spins.

With this new one, four. I guess.

They made a crap call in Halo 5 by
making her the main antagonist, people want more Her and less HAL
MS should allow their controller mapping software to allow this. More than enough buttons to use.

For screenshots and videos, get the chatpad. X1/X2 buttons are customisable to that if you want. Going straight to a sharing to web screen is an OS feature they would need to do? Although clips you make might upload to your activity feed automatically
It was $100m and the end result was two of the best controllers ever. If they want to dump more resources into great products I'm not complaining
Ah, right. Damn Larry, learn to use hashtags.

Cortana button totally makes sense.
Fair enough but you will have to get used to console revisions (hardware revisions let's be clear on that).
I don't believe for a second Sony will be alone in pursuing that model. It's the dawn of a new day for the console world.

They fixed that in the controllers which have the built in headphone jack. You can press the bumpers at any angle much like the 360 ones.
