well it just opens up another genre on XB1 and soon RTS will be on XB1 as well. MSFT is trying to leverage it's presence in the PC and online space to make XB1 better by offering more variety. Sounds like a good plan.

RTS doesnt work well on console... we had some of the greatest RTS games ever on consoles, and they could never get big because the controlls are even worse than fps controlls on console.  i have starcraft 64, aoe2 for ps2,c&C on ps and warcraft 2 ps. all good game with wellmade ports, but well it just didnt works so great-  sames goes for mobas(the spawn of wc3 mods), smite could work well, we see, its not a classical moba and works fine with xbox controller.

I have been told that Halo Wars was a great start, personally I played a ton of AoE back in the day on PC, so i hope they can make a good transisiton to consoles. In addition to Halo Wars 2 there is supposedly another fan favorite RTS being developed for XB1. We shall see.
