StarCraft, World of WarCraft, and Total War would not work on consoles.

this and Witcher 2 and Diablo 3 are coming to consoles. Well witcher 2 tyes, Diablo 3 a definite maybe.
Maybe Stalker or The Witcher. I could care less about any of the other ones. Strategy and MMORPG games are boring.
I love me some Blizzard Entertainment games, but like others have said, Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft and Total War would not control properly with a console controller. Witcher 2 is coming to the 360, and word has it that Diablo 3 is also coming to consoles.
Overall, great games, but you really should own a PC if you want to play any of them. I wouldn't even want to play any of those games on a console.
Only the Witcher and D3 would work. The latter would do reasonably well.
Surprised at how the original Crysis isnt there, as with STALKER. I'd imagine there would be alot more 360/PS3 owners that would want Football Manager instead of something like Total War.
Yeah the MMO and RTS stuff are iffy on consoles and dont ever sell as well.StarCraft, World of WarCraft, and Total War would not work on consoles.

The only PC games I would want to play on Consoles would be the Witcher, Stalker, and MAYBE Crysis. That's it really.
I think Trackmania on consoles would work really well, with cross-platform play between Pc,ps3 and xbox (hey, one can dream right?). The game doesn't rely on mouse/kb to play well, so it would translate better.
Noooo. It wouldn't work well on consoles. Trackmania is about sharing EVERYTHING on the Free OPEN Internet. Microsoft is too restrictive and who knows about Sony.I think Trackmania on consoles would work really well, with cross-platform play between Pc,ps3 and xbox (hey, one can dream right?).

They have no clue what consoe gamers like (well neither do I, but I know what I like :P). The Witcher is the only thing on that list that I believe console gamers are interested in. And guess what will happen to that franchise :shock:!
I'm pretty sure most console gamers don't care about strategy and MMO games. Besides, Witcher 2 and DIII are comming to consoles.
Reason is because, they have no strategy or MMO games to play. =p Console gamers didn't care about shooter games in the past. When shooters started being released on consoles, then console gamers desired it. and now it is the biggest genre on consoles.I'm pretty sure most console gamers don't care about strategy and MMO games.

WarTornRuston
Which should be read as "I've never played strategy games nor MMORPGs",shouldn't it ;)
On topic, I don't really see PS3/360 owners dying to play RTSs or WoW. No idea why would anyone put them in such a list.

Shooters were always present on consoles, it's just that FPSes didn't boom on the consoles prior to Halo and Call of Duty (Modern Warfare to be precise).

They always don´t care until they actually start coming on consoles,it´s funny to see that progress over the years though.
Not on console: meh,boring,don´t care,blah blah
On console: OMG OMG great game love it,GOTY,blah blah.
It´s the old story of I hate what I don´t have.
Console gamers didn't care about shooter games in the past.ShadowDeathXEh.... that's factually wrong. Shooters have always been a very popular genre on consoles, since the Nes days.
Not clicking on an N4G link. Sorry TC, not to make a big deal out of it, but there is absolutely NO POINT in clicking on N4gs website giving them traffic just to then click on the actual link to the actual website that made the actual list.

There's a big difference in accessibility between FPS and RTS/Strategy games though. FPS can be mindless fun. Strategy games requires the player to think by definition. That won't work :P!I'm pretty sure most console gamers don't care about strategy and MMO games. Besides, Witcher 2 and DIII are comming to consoles.

We have both those genres and yet people still don't really care :o[QUOTE="nameless12345"]Reason is because, they have no strategy or MMO games to play. =p Console gamers didn't care about shooter games in the past.

We have both those genres and yet people still don't really care :o You have really basic representations of the genres,it´s hard to care when the top quality stuff isn´t there. :PI don't want any PC games on my console. That would be a downgrade : /
Unless PC gets an exclusive fighting game a la tekken 7
[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]Why wouldn't World of Warcraft work? It isn't like MMOs have never been done on consoles before. Have you played it? It's not really something that needs explanation. There is no possible way it would work on a controller.StarCraft, World of WarCraft, and Total War would not work on consoles.

That article is absolutely right..
Us console gamers would love to have 2 RTS games (that are not popular or that well done on consoles) a MMORPG that would cost us more $$$ on top of what some of us have already spent (XBLG, PSN+) and 2 games that are already coming to consoles.. That article is obviously full of win. -> :|

The Witcher series and Diablo III are the only games that I like on that list as I personally dislike RTS and MMO's (i'm gonna give the old republic a try though).

(Keep in mind that I'm using the 360 in these examples)
MMO games:
Both scored poorly, sold poorly and were "dinged" because of the monthly fees.
RTS games:
Actually there has been a number of great RTS games released on consoles this gen. However, they didn't break down the doors with sales. You know why? Because those titles are better suited for the PC crowd.
Now.. given those factors.. why would console gamers drool over the prospect of those genres flooding their systems?
As far as shooters.. it goes without saying that FP/TPS are the biggest most profitable titles out right now. It's mostly due to the fact that previous gens hardware couldn't handle those games. Now they can..
I would like the Witcher Series on PS3. Same with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.
Though I own some games in those two series on the PC.
I can't get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to work beyond the main menu. I try to start a game and it kicks me out of the game.
Total War and Starcarft can't be played with a controller, at least not with the ones available today and I can't say if WoW can, because I've never played it. But about the other two, one is coming for the 360 and the other has a huge chance to also do so.
.
Btw, the main games I have a PC for are Total War, Starcraft, Warcraft and Civilization.
