RTS is a tired genre - one I've never really enjoyed too much since AoE - but it's fairly new to the console scene so it should be interesting to see how it plays. Nevertheless, I just prefer my strategy to be turn-based.

RTS's on consoles just don't work.

How wrong you are. Read this IGN preview. (which isn't the only preview that praises the controls on the 360)

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/697/697552p1.html

"Controlling the factions is, in all honesty, incredibly easy and intuitive -- more so than you'd think."

"I got hold of the controls while visiting EA Monday and I instantly was able to do everything"

"For a PC gamer who's trained him or herself on the PC controls, the Xbox 360 controls are simply a matter of re-training and re-mapping your fingers to the smooth white controlle and getting used to them."

"I could spend 24 hours trying to convince you these controls were the greatest ever, but what will really convince you? Simply seeing them in motion or doing it yourself. Both Dan Adams, a veteran RTS player on PC and I, a former RTS player, were instantly able to pick the game up and move."

Interesting, I'd like to see some vids showing the control(s) in action... I'll reserve judgement until then.
