That'll be a useful feature if you have a smartphone with buttons. Xperia Play sales will go through the roof!

Microsoft has a patent for a "Controller" layout for a tablet or smartphone using touch.

Not all game types would use it.  An FPS, for example, wouldn't.  Not for playing the main game, for sure.  But puzzle games, certainly could allow for both the Xbox One wireless controller, Kinect, or Smartglass.

so im going to be constatly looking down to see where i press a button beause i cant feel? It wont work

At first, possibly.  As a second screen, you'd also likely have the game running on the tablet or smartphone too, so maybe you'd just be looking at that.

You do realize that there are already games on smartphones and tablets that use touch controls to control games, right?  They're not all swipe games.

I know and its 10 x easier to work on a moblie device than it is for a console because you are looking at the screen while your playing, it just wouldnt work
