I'm going to be very happy with this game. Why? For the simple reason that I have X-Box live, but am getting tired of only using it for FPS games. An X-box TBS game made by Sid? I'm definately going to give it a try. Oh, and it won't take 18 hours to complete the game? Wow, I might actually play multiplayer Civ for once.
Cut the elitist crap out. There is a lack of strategy games in general for console systems, so this game should sell decently at least. If it sells well, that'll be big profits that can be used to FUND Civ 5 for PC.
