I would like to start off by saying "Hi" and to please bear with me as this is my first thread. I would also like to ask that you read this post in its entirety before making a decision.
As this is a poll, I would like to begin by saying what this poll is NOT. It is not:
1) To suggest that Blizzard will make Diablo, any other PC game that Blizzard has created, into a console game.
2) To poll whether you're a PC gamer or a console gamer. This is strictly a "what if" scenario poll. If you would like to see a PC vs Console thread, then PM me and I will try and create a thread similar to this and I will attempt to make it with the same open-mindedness and respect to all as I have tried to make this thread be.
3) To ask whether or not it can be done, but to assume that Blizzard has found a marketable means of doing so.
4) Meant to suggest anything other than your thoughts on the question posed to you.
Now that I've set some grounds on what this is NOT meant to be, I'll shed some light on the question at hand and what assumptions are made into it and this "what if" scenario. The question brought before you is:
IF Blizzard were to make Diablo for any console(s), would you be accepting of this move? Or, would you rather they stick to the realm of PCs?
With this question in mind, please assume that the following things have occured in this scenario:
1) That Blizzard has made the necessary legal procedures with any of the owners of the consoles they have chosen and that all parties have been satisfied by the arrangements that were made.
2) That Blizzard has made the game in a way consistent with how they would have made it for the PC and have taken the necessary measures to ensure ALL gamers are satisfied with how they wish to play said game. (i.e. If you wish to play with a controller or if you wish to play with a keyboard and mouse, Blizzard would have made it possible for any method of playstyle that is within the realm of reason to be achieved.)
3) That Blizzard has made a risk management assessment and has deemed that making this move is profitable to the company while reaching and expanding their core gaming audience. (If anyone wishes to argue this, please remember that this is a "what if" scenario. If you would like to voice your opinion on this, please make another thread regarding this or you can ask me to make it. Either way, I will be happy to contribute on this point in a different thread.)
I would like to thank Seth and Murderface for their help in showing me how to make polls and for their promptness. Once again, I would ask that you be resepctful of others and their opinions. Thank you very much!

Avast ye! Scyberdragon be te thank for the sig, arr!
But anywho, if Blizz were to make it for consoles, I'd accept it, but wouldn't go out of my way to get the console version. Would be nice to see it on consoles so a wider audience could play the game, but I'd probably stick with my PC version.

I'd be very accepting of it and, consequently, that's how I voted. I play either way, as I have the means to do both, but would like to see, and subsequently purchase, a console version should one ever be created.
Thanks again, Murderface! Next time I'll simplify them like that so as not to give the next person I ask that issue!

I wouldn't mind. Could go either way. Just all depends if Blizz could do it correctly. They didn't have much like putting Starcrat Ghost on a console; but that's kinda apples and oranges I suppose.

Biased poll is Biased. Honestly, there should only be 3 options. Yes. No. Don't Care.
The reasoning for why I gave it those options was to give those in the community the chance for voting that way. I realized that there would probably be those that while they weren't on the extreme "yes" or "no" side, they weren't entirely neutral, either. Hence, the additional two options. That way, I, and others who wished to view the poll, could accurately gauge the mood and/or mindset to the question I posed.

I don't really care. I do not intend to buy DIII for the PS3 if it comes out there since I prefer mouse for such games, but if other people receive the opportunity I have nothing against it, and I think Blizzard is big enough to modify the game for the consoles without hurting the PC version or vice versa.
If there was an option that lead to an earlier release day for Diablo 3, Id go with that option. Im dying here. I need to go into Stasis untill it comes out.
I would not care. I would play on Computer though.

It's not a poll, apparently.
Christ, that was quick!
Give it a minute Zhar.
I'm new to this and as I said "Bear with me, I'm new to this."
*minute passes*
There! It's a poll now.

Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
