Not currently in talks to deliver a RTS title for consoles

Blizzard seems to be going out of its way to let everyone who will listen know that they are not currently in talks for the development of an RTS title for any console system, including the next generation Microsoft console that many are suggesting is already in development.

While Blizzard has admitted that Microsoft bounces ideas off of the publisher, it has more to do with the fact that their games run on the Windows OS than anything else, according to Blizzard. While Blizzard has publicly stated in the past that it would be possible to do a RTS title on a console system, no one has proven the RTS titles outside of the PC arena are really profitable.

According to our sources, Blizzard looks at a lot of possibilities, and consoles could be one of them. People who work for different companies have discussions all of the time and we still find it hard to believe that discussions have not taken place. While the discussions were perhaps not at an official level, Blizzard would be crazy not to consider the possibility of producing games for console systems, as it is a market that they currently do not have a foot in. Our sources tell us that while no official decision has been reached, they are always monitoring the situation looking for good chances to build titles and make money.
