- they don't want to cannibalize WoW holiday $$$ (and really aren't in a hurry to cannibalize WoW in general)
- the RMAH presents a serious rats' nest of multiple problems
- they want 2012 to have big revenue (ATVI just officially bumped projections over 4 bil for the calendar year)
Don't expect a console release until 4q13, at the very, very earliest. Actually collaborating with the likes of SNE or MSFT to ship something makes bliz guys break out in hives.
No, the delay is because Blizzard doesn't like competition, anyone who thoght they were ever planning to release D3 in Q4 of this year, must not know much about how Blizzard works.
Actually, seeing as how several of my friends that work for Blizzard have told me that this is EXACTLY why they're delaying it... there's plenty of reason to believe it.
Bump for obvious lies?
Really dude, I don't care what you think. You can be a Blizzard fanboi all you want, but I'm the one who knows Blizzard employees. I said six months ago that I'd get into the beta because I know some, and I did. I went to high school with several of them and met others via WoW. You can believe what you want to believe, but when they announce that the console version will hit at the same time, my information will be > your beliefs.
P.s. I've been waiting for this for over a decade. Why would I lie?

Blizzard fanboy?
Well, after that, I'm even -more- tempted to say you're lying... Really, I'm a fanboy for not believing something that would be against Blizzard? Not only do I have no respect for Blizzard, I'd even believe that yes, they could very well delay the game for a console release, I don't even doubt it. I only question your credibility, which is even harder to believe if you think I'm a fanboy for this.
In any case, I don't really care either. I like debate someone's credibility, and I'm always curious to see if you're right, and actually know someone inside, or you're just another one of those pathetic mis-informer. You see, even if you're telling the truth, I refuse to take the risk of being grossly misinformed by mysterious posts. I'd be more than happy to know you're truthful and aren't just one of millions that just spreads lies. But I hope you don't expect people to just "believe you" right away.

More power to you if you aren't a troll, but I pretty strongly doubt they are planning for a simultaneous console release on early 2012 when they still have public job posting for senior engineers for a console version. Maybe they just label their positions with the expectation that "senior" will get what they want for the bottom of the pyramid; but if those are really senior positions they are trying to fill, a console port is more than 6 months away.
The poll options are a bit biased; for my part I'm happy for a supposed console version but not to be released simultaneously (that would be selfish), so...

Yah and Santa told me it was coming out this Christmas too....lying fat ****.
Sheesh, no need to flame the guy. He's either a liar or not but no need to get your panties in a knot, just ignore him.
But before I be believing anything do you have other news or information that a mole would know?

I agree with feminism. I don't think that it's right that for every dollar a man makes, a women gets 70 cents. Why do I only get 30 cents and some chick gets the rest?
