I mean the game might come out in early 09 http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13395/StarCraft-2-Out-1st-Quarter-Next-Year/, so a console release could be possible as a fall 09 release.

I mean xbox 360 has its fair share of RTS but with Halo Wars and Starcraft 2, RTS might just become a popular genre on consoles.

And with PC games falling due to piracy, I would think it could be a wise move for Blizzard.

If that would happened, I think it is a big win for the 360 because they need all the help they can in 09.

 

 

 no, it will be a stupid move for blizzard. why, because starcraft 2 is compatiable with almost any PC just like world of warcraft, it isn't necessary, and a port will cost a lot of money, and may not profit because the starcraft fanbase is on the PC, not 360, also RTS not only are they not popular on consoles, but a keyboard and mouse beats a controller in stragety games easily

i myself love stragety games, but after command and conquer on the xbox, i will never buy a RTS game on a console simpility because a controller doesn't feel right for this genre.

 

LOL.

@jagged

that's a shooter....but if u take counter-strike...that's a different story...

but anyways...diablo 3 would be a good port to console...now that would get alot of people...
