At first I was thinking that idea but then I remembered the whole OS and store restriction plan. I'd rather someone else bring more RTS games back from the dead than simply tying them to a single OS and store while screwing over the rest.

Also if we're in talks of K+M support, I can't for the life of me see every X1 player using them let alone having every X1 game natively supported to play with the setup. Could you imagine a few people outright destroying another bunch who have used a gamepad for years?. There is a strict reason as to why PC and console players aren't in direct competiion when it comes to FPS or games that rely heavily on a M+K setup.

I imagine Halo Wars 2 will be largely centrered around their gamepad than a K+M, especially considering how the first game never touched PC and was all about the gamepad design despite last gen having a small K+M support of it's own.

This. The PS4 has native K/M support and guess how many games use it? 2. FF 14, and War Thunder. The option is there, developers just don't use it.

Also, most modern Total War games would run like shit on consoles. They're pretty taxing games.

Also I remember last gen having the same sort of K+M touted support and yet the majority of RTS games had to come up with a way for the largely used gamepads to play said games.

 

Red Alert 3 and Kane's Wrath+C&C 3 had to use EA's version of the "command wheel":

While it did indeed work, it didn't allow for much flexibility the same way you would get naturally with a K+M. I didn't mind using it much at the time when I owned those titles on my 360 but years down the line on PC, I feel the K+M is just better for RTS, but with consoles I just can't see a vast majority using such a setup, most even see that setup as a strict PC desk type phenomenon, like the kind that see PC's associated only for work.
