won't happen.
the original xbox took the last major PC bastion from it ( shooters)
PC will have RTS's and MMOs now.. but everything else is better or the same on console.
soon, not next gen but the one after, we could easily have eye sensing technology which means RTS commands could be done with nothing but eye movements and voice ( and be useable not like End war)
MMOs work on console now, but its too clunky to talk since you can't have everyone talking in voice, and typing with console is a pain.


=D

 


yea I would like to see someone matching this kind of APM on a touch screen that you have to hold with at least one hand never mind the mouse precision

 

that isn't even that extream


You feel threatened by the fact that there is finally a controller can do MMOs and RTS games on consoles well?

I know some PC gamers feel those genres belong to them.

No I am debating just how well it will work because when you have a game wher high level play requires 100+ actions per minute including hotkeys, selection groups and precision selection and targeting. I just don't see how anyone could possibly think that a small screen tablet that you have to use a stylus for and hold with one hand is goind to be as good as M&K. It's almost like you haven't played a real RTS before or something. Sure it is 100x better than a gamepad but that still leaves K&M as 10x better. 

I am pretty sure we have had this debate before 

I've played RTS games before. It is not a requirement to be pressing 100+ actions per minute. Maybe you are talking about some subset of hardcore RTS gamers who play competitively or something.

An RTS that is built up  (Pikmin 3 for example) or properly ported to take advantage of the controller's features would play awesomely.

Sure PC will still have it's advantages with all those keys and stuff but I think the controller has  some unique possibilities  in its' own right such as, say, a game where you play with an RTS view on the controller and build up an empire, gather resources, etc while on the TV screen you can battle/explore in full third person view.
