They're just not as popular as they used to be, and there are so many players on console nowadays. I can't imagine playing an RTS with a controller.
Age of Empires seems to be doing really well though. The first 3 games got great remasters, and AoE 4 is well received from what I understand.
Many fans of RTS and Halo swear on Halo Wars when it comes to RTS on a console. Apparently, they really figured out how to do it right, but I haven't played it myself.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more gaming pcs now days, too. Consoles have been loosing out on the gaming market share since the 90's. PC overtook consoles in both popularity and profits a bit over a decade ago.
Disheartening enough though, is that as far as profits are concerned, mobile games make $ more than pc and console combined.
