I don't know why people are saying it can't happen. StarCraft was on the Nintendo 64. Im sure the advances in the WiiU could accommodate StarCraft 2. Halo wars, Red Alert.... There have been other rts games on consoles.

Yes, they attempted them, but the reality is that the console's controls aren't best suited for doing RTS historically  Why do you think RTS doesn't sell well on consoles?  


Strategy games have been built up as exclusive games to PC since the 90's. It would take years to make it change. Diablo is the consoles best bet. Starcraft gameplay would require a much better connection and a keyboard. My roommate plays that game and the way he and his opponents bang on the keys? Yeah....no. LOL


RTS's are my favorite genre right now. You dont need a ton of buttons to play the game. Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy I only use my mouse and the f2 button(i actually played sc1 and the warcraft series this way too as i was never good with keyboards, I now practice using hotkeys to improve my gameplay). Nothing else. While sc2 is a highly competitive game, it also has a lot of casual users and single player users. I play against the computer AI but not against others as I often need to pause and get up from a game and cant do that online. A console port would not have the best ontrols, but it most certaintly can be done. Especially if the console has a touch screen, and if they have voice controls it can be even better.
