I think the CPU power is there or near enough for the 360/PS3 but I don't think the controllers are really suited to it, if we are talking about a game that involves selecting and manipulating troops then a mouse is infinitely better than a joypad. Also if I'm playing a console (rare) then I want a game I can just pick up and play, that isn't something that you normally get with strategy games.

If the new consoles have a mouse and a decent context sensitive right click (or similar) then I see no real reason why they couldn't do a good strategy game on them though. I have to admit I still probably wouldn't play it though - not least because I'd have to buy the console plus a TV to begin with.
