I haven't played Halo Wars, so I'm not sure how well the controls worked in that. I'm really not convinced that you'd get the precision you'd want with a pointer, though.
Also, there doesn't seem to be much of a market for RTS games on consoles, but I guess that's a different matter.
WHY ARE YOU SINGING WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.
Also, games aren't books and I have looked at screenshots/videos and have read reviews. Maybe I should have said it looked really generic and unoriginal instead.
