Unfortunately even that won't work. USB devices (such as USB-to-serial converter as well as the Xbox controller) need a USB host to communicate with - it is not possible for two USB client devices to communicate directly with each other. You'd need a microprocessor of some kind (one capable of acting as a host, which most smaller microcontrollers aren't) sitting in between the USB-to-serial and the Xbox controller.
