I guess I'm in the minority, I thought Halo Wars controls worked pretty good for a RTS on a console.
I also thought Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II worked really well for consoles as well. Yes the game had performance issues but that wasn't due to the control scheme.
Command and Conquer for 360 would have been good too but the missions were not balanced properly for the controller controls so some missions were an exercise in frustration.
There are enough examples of RTS games working on consoles if enough planning and design is put into using a controller. Couple that with voice, gesture controls and I don't see why we couldn't see something like Age of Empires "console edition".
How do you even click on the minimap? RTS on console sounds as bad as Gran Turismo on k/m.
