I wouldn't want to try to play an RTS on an Xbox, but I'm fine having a Playstation for Mass Effect or an Xbox for Skyrim.

The level of thought in a game shouldn't be determined by its controller but by the gameplay mechanics. Most good RPGs on the market require a decent level of thought when it comes to choosing the right equipment and tactics for a given situation.

I'm both a PC and console gamer. RPGs and shooters for consoles, RTS's on the PC.
