In an interview with Games Industry.biz, Relic Entertainment boss, Ron Moravek, has hinted that the World War II RTS, Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40K : Dawn of War, may make an appearance on the next-gen consoles. "We're keeping a close eye on it. We've done a lot of work to see how we would do it, and we same to the same conclusion as I think the Lord of the Rings guys did; we're watching Lord of the Rings going to 360 very closely," Moravek revealed. "If it's successful, I think there's a good chance we could bring Company of Heroes and even Dawn of War over."

Relic also confirmed that they have no plans to support Wii due to the mature themes of their titles. "You never know - if we came up with something cool we could do it, but right now our plan is not to... You can't do the same types of games on the Wii because the power is a lot different. It's a different type of technology,"said Moravek.

Opinion : If more real-time strategy games are making their way to Xbox 360 they really need to make them keyboard compatible. The controller just doesn't give you the versatility needed for such games. The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II is far too much of a chore on Microsoft's console.
