bahahahaha. RTS on consoles??? let alone othe PS3. Sure maybe the 360 will get a few like Supreme Commander but the PS3 is severely lacking my favorite genre. There is Red Alert but its not offering much and I have high hopes for Under Siege. Mushroom wars is worth a try and tower defense game are fun but still are not true RTS games.

I dont understand it either because the PS3 has keyboard and Mouse capabilities so all it takes is a port from PC to PS3. Dont worry about Controllers just make it Keyboard and Mouse only.

You're favorite genre and you want them to port them over? I don't understand, if it is your favorite type of games why wouldn't you be a PC gamer primarily then occassional console player?

It's like saying FPS is my fav but I have a home console and would love those PC FPS to be ported over. Why don't I just get a gaming rig to play FPS on PC?

I can tell you that the PC market has more than enough RTS to keep you happy if it is your favorite genre.

Well you see its quite simple.  I used to be primarily a PC gamer 1st and a console gamer second.  However I have then since moved out and can not afford a gaming rig as all my money goes to school.   I did however take my PS3 with me and it is powerful enough to handle the many RTS on the computer.  If they used keyboard and mouse support for the games, then the ports wouldn't suck, or at least as much.

The only reason PC is a superior RTS and FPS experience is because of the Mouse.  They PS3 can use a MOUSE!!!  I wish more devs would notice this.  They did it for Unreal Tournament 3.

I understand your point but please keep in mind that the standard input device for the PS3 is the main controller where as the PC is K+M. The developers must play the roll as any other system to know that most consumers that bought X system was for many reasons and one could be because they don't want to play with K+M. So that's why the consumer bought X system (to use the K+M on the PS3 is an option) with the mind set to play using a controller so the games must be centered around controllers, the K+M is a fine option for the small minority that would like to.
