UPDATE!
I sent in a message and today I have gotten a response. It neither says it will never happen nor states that it will, but it is leaning highly on the "will happen" side!!
Whyme,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have sent this along through the appropriate channels for consideration. Ubisoft Entertainment values its customer input and we do incorporate user suggestions into our products. In fact, ideas sent to us as suggestions to the Support Department have been used in the past.
I'm just wondering, what are the possibilities for 1701 being ported to the Xbox 360? Don't say that it will **** because it is a rts/stragity game on a gaming console, as I can give several valid reasons on why it would be a good idea..
For one, there are several people (me included) whos computers are not good enough to run the game smoothly. I for one can play it, but the more polygons are active the slower that it gets, and it has prevented me from having a very enjoyable expierence with it. If it is on the Xbox 360 (which its graphics are far superior to that of the best pcs), then many more people will be able to play!
Sometimes good pc games can be buggy, take Command and Conquer3 for example. Nearly 70% of players are unable to platy the game because it is SO buggy, myself included, and have went to getting it on the Xbox 360. Yes, RTS games weren't ment for a platformer, but it still works, and the graphics are FAR superior to that of the best pcs!
And I would even be able to assist in suggesting controls for the game. Let me explain.

Would be the basic select button, such as on selecting a ship, troop, or structure. Also is a general comfirmation button that means YES.
Would be the opposite of A. If you selected something and wanted to deselect it, you would press this. Also is a general selection button meaning NO.
Can cycle throught citys or open a menue to jump to cities or ships. Perhaps it can initate a trade with another city or open up somethimg.
Same as X, however it could also be used for a "jump to" command, much like the space bar. For example, if a ship is being attacked, pressing this would jump you to said location.
This is the main stick. Moving this would move the map of course. Clicking this (pressing the stick down) could jump you to your main city, which can be assigned by you.
This one would mvoe the camra. Moving it up and down would be zoom in and out, moving it left and right would also move the view left and right. Perhaps clicking it and holding it can allow you access to extreme views? Also a single click can return your camra to the default view.
This is the Start button. Pressing this would pause the game.
This is the back button. I'm not really sure what it could do? Perhaps pressing it would instantally close anything up and return you to the main game view?
This is the D-pad. Useing this whilst a menu is open could move the selection, such as defence structures, work houses, and then pressing A would open a sub menu which you can navigate through with the left or right dpad buttons.
This is the right trigger, you can not see it, but when properally holding the controller, your fingers are right on it. Perhaps holding this can open the build menu, whish you would navigate through with the dpad.
This is the right button. Unlike its cooresponding trigger, it is not really convienent to press. Perhaps this could be used to assign hotkeys to troops / ships, much the the CTRL-# combo is used.
This is the left trigger. The function could be the same as the right, or it could be changed.
Left button. See Right Button.
The big middle X button is used to access the dashboard which controls things outside the game, thus the reason I didn't mention it.
There are lot of things that could be done. I just got the idea from seeing Command & Conquer 3 on the 360 and thinking that 1701 would be GREAT to have. Not only would it be able to work precisely like its PC counterpart, but it would also allow people to play online (the connection with nearly all games is superb) and allow them to share saves, or whatever else!
