Xbox One Xbox 720 will use Smartphones and Tablets as a Controller?

Stupid idea in my opinion.

The reason why is because then MS can't charge you for it. Unless, they make a app and charge $4.99. Which, I can see happening then.

They could restrict it to Microsoft tablets and phones. That way they know you're a microsoft customer (even more so than buying a console) and they don't feel as cheated.

Either that or MS is getting a little nicer.

There's an Xbox app on iPhone currently, so I doubt they'd make it exclusive to just Microsoft products. They want to reach as many as possible. If that means targeting Apple customers, they will. They'll just keep things like getting achievements on mobile devices to Microsoft devices. However, I can earn Microsoft Points playing the game Wordament on my iPhone right now.
