    RTS games as a whole are horrible for consoles, it can have amazing graphics, but when it comes down to controls, you'll need a mouse.

    Everything is trolling now, welcome to the internet.

    Starcraft on the Xbox? Not even. No RTS belongs on a console.

    Personally I prefer the 360 controls to the PC's. Mouse + keyboard allows for more options, a controller feels more natural.

    That would limit the game greatly. It wouldn't make sense.

    There is a reason why RTS aren't made for consoles. You can't expect to micro your units quickly with a controller.

    3. Better Graphics.

    As has been known for some time, Xbox 360 is the most graphics machine on the planet. How can it be that PCs, which have to be upgraded all the time just to compete with Xbox’s superior grafix, can claim to have better looking games? Simple: it can’t. The 360 could make Starcraft even better than it already looks: with a 526Mb of RAM (remember, 526 is at least four times the size of the number 8, which is the recommended RAM for StarCraft PC). Imagine it: at 15 FPS and 640p, StarCraft could really fly.

    well.. when it comes to a person using a controller (a controlled adapted to a PC mind you) to a person using a keyboard+mouse. assuming both people are highly skilled at RTS games, the chance of winning goes to K+M person.

    there is normally a shortcut key, and if not, you can make one.

    also, the topic, article is joke.

    come on, its freakin hilarious.

    Im just going to add that keyboard and mouse do control better then a console controller. Take a mouse, using your whole hand on the mouse on a flat surface opposed to a joystick only being able to be controlled with your thumb. No counter to that. and the article made me lul.
