I'm mostly with those who say if you want to play RTS games play them on PC. There's so much to play on consoles that relative lack of RTS isn't really a major flaw.

Question is: would moving in to the RTS genre generate additional HW sales for the console maker, and profitable game sales for the developer/publisher?


Well, maybe in time. Gaming in general is moving to a place where it isn't confined to the 'computer room'. Your TV/lounge is the hub now, why should we seperate ourselves from the house to game? I guess time will tell.

Also, i think the market is there - as we grow older (i'm 25 now), more people will transfer from PC's to consoles (as we work on a PC all day, why play on one 2!), thus the market may grow.. But yes you are correct, at the moment it's doubtful RTS will move consoles.

uh, I'm older than that and I'm in IT, but I've always been a multiplat gamer who doesn't have a specific favorite genre and enjoy gaming in general so I'll continue to game on PC and consoles.
