FPS and RTS are best played with PC. Whoever plays RTS on console, I truly feel sorry for you.
Console isn't bad though, I enjoy many console games and frankly I feel that console has been receiving better games for while. Not many modern worth-while RTS games to play on PC nowadays. Universe at war is OK but is pretty imbalanced, it is receiving excellent support so this mite change. Company of heroes is good but patching the messed up imbalanced gameplay is taking far longer than it should, will become a great game AFTER patches. Crysis MP never really took off since many people still have computers that barely run ZH. Plus everyone has a big screen TV nowadays, makes that pretty damn good.
Many RTS online gaming communities are dying/shrinking like ZH or Warcraft 3 (well WC3 still has well over 100,000 people playing LEGALLY at any moment [lots of private servers] so 'dying' isn't really the term).
Edit: This forum isn't really active and this topic was still 3rd place so I hope this isn't considered necroing.
