They won't and shouldn't nothing would sell unless it has a huge brand stuck to its name. RTS games are becoming a thing of the past anyways, with mobas taking center stage.

i don't see the similarities between moba and rts though???

They would need to dramatically change the controls similar to Pikmin. Currently implementations (Kinetic, Smartglass, whatever) will not be able to emulate PC controls well enough to be fun or playable.

I don't agree voice control and motion control combo would easily do the trick....

say : "select all units" "attack closest ennemy unit"
say: "build command center" then either position it with your hands or smartglass
say: "create group one" and then select with hands or SG

etc etc.... I actually would love to see that on PC too.... real commanders don't point and click on units... they give out voice orders...I'd love to see a really well done voice supported RTS (yeah I know there have been tries in the past)

but being able to say
tank units, hold the line at rally point alpha
GI's flank the ennemy group in zone delta by the east, fall back if you reach 50% casualties
Comandos go on hill side zeta and wait for my orders
engineers get ready to be air lifted at LZ tango
etc etc

One can go and try End Game to see how it goes. The number of units commandable is much smaller. And RTS fans just don't get into it. Idea here is to be able to get PC RTS stuff able to also appear on consoles in a way that is natural.

RTS's on PC being my favorite game to play, voice commands, and gesture commmands seems completely natural, and would be fun. What "End Game" do you mean? I couldn't find it.

Sorry, I meant EndWar:
