> You also can’t play RTS games on consoles.

You can, see StarCraft 64.

Starcraft 64 is infamously terrible and is evidence that RTS games don't work on consoles.

I rented it at blockbuster, loved it, bought it, and then played many hundreds of hours on it. I don’t know if I agree with your statement as written.

That said, I don’t know if I would even touch a RTS on a console these days. So maybe I agree in spirit.

I did the same thing (minus buying it).

It was super fun but definitely not the same competitive experience. But it was really impressive how well it all worked.

SC64 has an 80 on Metacritic. Re-evaluate your statement with evidence.
