Compared to an RTS game, I'd say so yes. There are few genres that work well on Console games, I just named a few, how many MMO's do you see for Consoles? How about GOOD RTS? What I do see is a few RTS games that are ok, but a PITA to go through with AI dumbed down to the point of being easy to destroy. Console gaming has it's place, truely, but it has succeeded in destroying PC gaming, which is a supperior method of gaming IMO. Any number of controllers can be made for PC and are universal for all people with USB 2.0 Ports and software, where as I cant take my G25 Race wheel to the Xbox360 (I can to the PS3 though) And I can't take my Xbox360 USB Guitar Hero Guitar to my USB 2.0 Wii ports as it wont work. It's stupid, they make gobs of money off of periphials and making mindless boring video games.
PC games make it easier to mod, make the game capable of harder difficulties that require thinking to accomplish, and better graphics capabilities even within the realm of the "average" gaming PC. PC Gaming also is half the reason computer advances are made. The computers that are used in industry and the business world dont need to be half that of what most computer gamers want their rigs to be like. Very rarely do you see a Console pioneering new technology in the computer world. (Arguable, PS3 with cell processors).
Anyway, I fear that SH5 will probably be the last SH anyway, I doubt Ubi will be able to afford keeping themselves afloat after the horrible press release videos and DRM fiasco. And the later could be easily reduced by releasing a full playable demo and exclusive content for people who buy the game. Do I see it happening? Hell no, but it's not my boat to sink. I will most likely buy SH5 because I want to see how bad it is most likely going to be. Especially since I doubt a demo will ever be produced...
