If it's with a gamepad / controller, then hell no. If it's with a keyboard and mouse on a console, what's the point? Just hook up your computer to your TV.

A 300$ PS3 can run SC2 fine, but my 700$ laptop from 2007 barely handles all-low?

Simply not enough buttons thats ONE of the major downsides, second being how are you going to click the map...

If i didnt have a good comp and had a ps3 and sc2 was released on ps3, and i could play with keyboard and mouse, then yeah i'd buy it. For ppl without good gaming comps this would be a good way to play sc2. Would it sell? i think so.

If I could plug my MX518 and Filco into my 360, then yes I definitely would play it. It would be nice to play SC2 with my old Xbox Live buddies who haven't took up PC gaming.

I will definitely not play it since it will be way more boring. I play on my PS3 more than my PC since the only game I play on my PC is SC2. Genres such as FPS and strategy, I would never buy on my PS3 since the game feels more "dumbed" down compared to their PC counterpart.

It would be fine if you could use keyboard and mouse on the consoles. I think PS3 can do that; I don't think the xbox can.

Trying to use a controller thing for an RTS is horrible.

I don't get why this is even a question. The obvious answer is that it would be a terrible idea. Lets look at halo reach and cnc3, neither was all that successful on a console. Playing an RTS without a keyboard is usually not worth the trouble.

I would not play SC2 on any console. That is all.

nope

there's nobody on playstation network, and I don't want to pay an xbox live subscription to play sc2.

plus the people you'd get on playstation/xbox servers would be absolutely terrible. xbox's top diamond would be about equivalent to pc's gold league.

so, less people to play with or having to pay to play, and a lower skilled player base? i think not.

Why would I play SC2 on an inferior platform, with inferior controls, an inferior interface and significantly worse graphics? Not to mention a lot of other things like Microsoft haggling my money for subscrption/fees for downloading maps.

No, just no.

Played SC64 for 4ish years because I didn't have a PC. Yeah, played that thing a fucking LOT. But now playing RTS on a more competitive level, couldn't possibly go back.

I think this question assumes that you would use a keyboard and mouse. No idea why it's getting rejected so much on the basis that using a controller sucks. It obviously sucks. No one in their right mind would play SC2 with a controller or would want to.

A console release would mean that all the people with bad computers who can't afford to get a new one can play it on their much more powerful consoles.

Before anyone says if you can afford x you can afford y, not always. Just because slowly over time you get yourself a TV and a game console does not mean your budget justifies getting a whole new computer just to play games when the one you have suits your basic needs just fine.
