well, the Wii does have a potentially large fanbase. if the make the controls and online good, then theres a chance and that it will sell well enough that they start making more on Wii.

it has a lot of users yes but not a lot of RTS fans. You can see this judging by current sales of strategy games on the Wii like Battalion Wars 2.
point is that it prbly wont happen becuase devs see the 360 has having a larger RTS fanbase than the other enxt gen consoles. I mean if Ninty made a few RTS game that released this year and were good then it would be highly possible...but most RTS gamers know that if they wanna buy a console for RTS’s then the 360 is the best choice.
although it does not have a large RTS fanbase at the moment, it could increase if good RTS games come out for it and people buy it. i mean, at first, the RTS market was pretty much only on PC. but now the 360 has managed to take some ground in it, and the Wii should be able to have a chance too. although the hardcore RTS players will probably be staying on PC...
yeah most will stay on PC> I’m on both PC and 360.
But for a dev to bring an RTS to another console besides 360 would be a risky move...they could lose a lot of money. Fact is devs have to options...port it to 360 which has RTS fans that’ll buy it...or port it another console whihc is unkown whether it has RTS fans or not and may sell or may not. Devs would rather take the easy way out...so i doubt we’ll be seeing many (if any) RTS’s on the Wii or PS3.
It’s basically like saying “Lets put H3 on the PS3 instead of the 360”...most Ps3 owners hate Halo so i doubt they’d even buy it. Bungie would’ve been stupid and lost a lot of money.
So i mean it’d be great to see one on Wii and PS3...but the fact is most RTS devs wanna make money with their ports not lose it.
it was also a risky move porting the LOTR RTS for the 360 but sicne it truend out successful and ppl loved it more devs did it and followed the same good control scheme. Now most devs who port RTS’s to consoels knwo for a fact the 360 has RTS fasn so they know they will win money.

similarly, the same could be said between about PC and 360 awhile ago.

yep

see? Devs now know for a fact ppl on 360 love RTS’s so they have nothing to fear.
It’s quite simple to understand rlly...i mean it’s pretty much clear that the 360 will be the top dog of RTS’s for consoles this gen. It’s kinda impossible for Wii and PS3 to get it now...too many devs are porting RTS’s to 360 becuase they realise it has a large fanbase of RTS lovers. Devs dont see it necessary to risk bringing an RTS to another system if they know that the 360 is successful with RTS’s.
I know it’s sad but it’s kidna true...i highly doubt we’ll see many (if any) RTS’s for Wii or PS3 . It’s too late for them to get a grip on devs to port their RTS’s to their cosnoles.

exactly but as i said b4 that paid off...that was actually somethign entirely different than porting an RTS form 360 to Wii/PS3. What happened was revolutionary...it was something that even i thought would fail...they made an RTS work on consoles. It doesn’t matter if it was 360...it was the only next gen console out at the tiem and the devs wanted to test an RTS on cosnoles so tehy had no choice but to pick 360.
Fact is it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see many (if any) RTS’s on PS3 an wii
well, heres how i look at it: originally, there were not much RTS fans on 360 either. Then, they took a risk and it payed off. Couldnt the same kind of risk be taken to try putting RTS on the other consoles?
but it was more of a revolutioanry thing. U see if PS3 and Wii were out then i’m sure Ea would’ve ported the RTS to them aswell.
Also devs are prtty lazy...i was surpirsed they’d port it to 360 honestly. They’re also greedy and want to make money and now it’s clear that the safer way to go would port it to 360.
All I’m saying is that this is how the market usually works. It’s how devs usually think.
hmm, i guess we will have to hope that a dev wont be lazy and come out and make a good original RTS or port to the other consoles. I mean there should be a large enough potential fanbase....(although for Wii, it probably wont succeed unless they have good controls and online)
and another thing is that a lot of RTS developers are either part of microsoft or have strong relations with MS.
this is probably hugely unlikely and near impossible, but.... maybe nintendo could buy out a developer like Gas Powered Games(Supreme Commander), Big Huge Games(RoN and RoL), or Peroglyph (Star Wars:Empire at War and UaW)?
haha, this is kinda funny cause it just does not seem possible at all, considering that Nintendo doesnt seem to be very interested in RTSes in the first place!!

yeah...it’s ok to dream for stuff like that ....i know u love RTS’s...

yeah it’s ok...i know...ur a Wii player and u want an RTS to come to it. That’d be like a 360 or PS3 only owner wanting SSBB or SMG to come to 360 or PS3....

i dont mind getting a 360. I mean it has a lof of great games out and nice graphics. I would think about getting one except my parents probably wont let me get one. and also i wont be able pay for live since im only 14, unless i get a job.
