are console strategy games on the upswing?

first off, i've played exactly one strategy game before posting this, so maybe i'm not the most reliable person out there regarding how good strategy games are, and i'm not one to consult on differences between playing these games on PC and console...

with that said, with the universal praise civilization revolution is getting, along with the good reviews c&c3: tiberium wars got for the 360/ps3, does anyone else think that strategy games can find a permanent home on consoles, and maybe even recognized as some of the best titles on consoles down the line? i'm looking at footage from tom clancy's endwar, as well as halo wars, and i'm finding them quite impressive...maybe they're just a start of what's to come in the future...

as a strategy game noob, now seems like the perfect time to start getting into this genre...i guess it's a good thing that i don't game on the pc since i'm still hearing complaints about how it doesn't control as well on a controller...but having played battle for middle earth II on a controller, i actually found the controls very manageable...so i'm very much looking forward to how titles like halo wars and tom clancy's endwar turn out...

anyone else in the same position i am?

yeah, hopefully

although watching MS revealed their heavy hitters during their conference, most of them were sequels to popular franchises anyway like gears of war 2, finaly fantasy XIII, fable 2, etc...that's all well and good but i'm happy that i'll be introducing myself to a new genre of games in addition to playing these sequels...

In my opinion yes and no.

Yes that we will be seeing more and more RTSs on consoles, but no in that i think that while consoles may get a handful or so if you want to be able to play the most RTSs the PC will always be the dominant platform for them in terms of numbers and quality of games.

lately i find myself playing more rts games because i'm bored with action games. i bought civilazation revolution and i'm having a blast. i hope it continues.
