Consoles are perfectly capable of Age of Empires, and, quite frankly, I wish I could play it...I rather like that game. However, for some reason, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft (and, before them, Sega) have collectively decided that console gamers don't want strategy games...and they might be right, considering the sales of the few that have come out. However, I see two reasons why this could change. Firstly, there have been good, original console RTS games. Future Tactics: The Uprising was extremely pleasurable, and I feel that if a high profile console company promoted a RTS as heavily as PC RTS games are promoted, one would break through. Luckily, there is one of those games coming...Halo Wars. I may not like the property very much, but it could be just the game to make console gamers buy an RTS. Maybe then, we'll finally get a chance to play Starcraft II (or, more likely by then, Diablo III) on a console and not have it be a crappy port. Sim City...same deal. You could, most of us just don't want to. Similarly, The Movies could have been the watershed game, but it wasn't pulled off very well. And please don't judge consoles on Dynasty Warriors...there are infinitely better, less repetitive games/series out there.
