With all the debates between the proponents of the consoles versus the PC games, there is still at least one area where it is safe to say the PCs still dominate over the consoles and that is in the grand strategy games. Even though Civilization IV has made its debut on the console, it is still limited in its ability to deliver the true strategy gaming experience. The portal of Civilization IV to the console is not a bad one, but is kind of what I call a "lite" version.
There are just too many titles available for the desktop PC for the consoles to even attempt to overcome. The competition among the strategy games for the PC is fierce and the true strategy game aficionado will not give up his PC gaming experience easily for the "lite" versions that will be offered by the consoles.
The main reasons that PC's still out power the consoles in the strategy gaming genre is that the consoles are built for fast action games the end in one sitting. I can remember long games that carried on for days sometimes, playing the PC strategy games. Another reason is the limited controls. There are only a few buttons on a console controller, and anyone that has played any types of strategy games knows that having a lot of hot keys assigned sure makes game play a lot better and easier.
The PC game is not dead, and for the enthusiast strategy game player it will be around for years to come.
