AFAIK, Only AoE 4 will be releasing on Xbox, not 2 or 3, and we know nothing yet about AoE 4 or it's gameplay, it could be very compatible with a controller, since it's not a remake or anything, but a completely new game made from scratch.
I heard Halo Wars worked really well on the Xbox controller, but i never played it, so idk.

But Xbox One has official support to Mouse and Keyboard, even though i like to play anything on a controller if possible.

The only way to play RTS is Mouse and Keyboard and it's over.

The AOE III is not the problem here, it is already ready, will not undergo any drastic change to make it more compatible with Xbox, it will continue as it always has been.

The problem is the AOE IV, they can destroy the AOE IV for PC trying to make it more compatible with Xbox.

I think RTS and consoles are natural enemies, I can't think of any other category of games that is so hard to make the transition from one platform to another.

age 4 will be very different, they probably remade all of these as backups to fall on

AoE3:DE will not be available on any consoles.
It has cross-platform multiplayer between the Steam platform and Microsoft Store platform on PC.

You've got to take a risk in order to create something new. It's all part of the gaming industry.

age 3 is pc exclusive. people in the comments above say the 4th game is coming, but that's not confirmed yet. closest thing that I saw were a couple articles that mentioned how microsoft said that the game COULD come to xbox, but nothing was set in stone yet.
