This is the last game I am playing on my aging PC and I have little desire upgrading it for it alone. I think this style of play can be translated to console very well. Civilization has done it, so did C&C series. And to play these battles on big screen TV with surround sound would be mouthwatering. Not to mention huge online community available at your fingertips.

Sorry, I don't want one of the last decent PC Game devs to dumb down their game for a bunch of illiterate, lazy, incompetent, unimaginative pieces of flesh who sit on their couch letting their brains rot in their skulls.
Civilization has sucked on the consoles, it's gotten 8/10s, compared to the 9 and 10 out of 10s it has received on the PC.
It's a different sort of audience, and CA's quality will suffer as a result.
They can make a total war for the consoles that will suck balls and all the retards can enjoy it, but make the two exclusive for either the gaming illiterate on one hand, or one for those who actually enjoy thinking while playing a game.
Now that ATi's cards are out, they're cheap, while prices drop significantly, the old "wahh wahh wahh I can't upgrade wahh wahh" excuse is no longer viable.
You're on a computer forum, there's at least 500 out of 5000 users who can help you put together a PC for cheap, use your resources and your brain, and that way you won't have to buy a piece of shit that contains two year old graphics cards and then complain that a thinking game (and graphically intensive) isn't coming to that load of junk because:
1) The audience doesn't appreciate that sort of game
and
2) The hunk of plastic can't run it without stuttering along anyway
I'm sorry, but the thought of soiling yet another great and viable game series by dumbing it down in a miserable port is truly aggravating.
FYI: You can you buy a fancy TV screen, a surround sound system, and a nice cheap graphics card that kicks ass and still get the same experience.
