Yeah, I'm not sure if console RTS games are quite there yet, but there's no reason to believe they never will be. In my opinion, Halo Wars stands a good chance of coming up with the best control scheme to date - it's being developed for the Xbox 360 only (so it doesn't have to compromise because there's no mouse and keyboard support to bring it down), Ensemble are a very experienced RTS developer and Microsoft will put an awful lot of money behind it.
And then there are games like Pikmin, Batallion Wars and Overlord (and, to lesser extent, Goblin Commander) that cherish the RTS flavor unique to consoles and their controls already work fine.
