why not? I think it would be a great idea. Pc is basically dead anyways except for them.
How could be PC be dead if games requirements ask more for real graffic card and also physic cards so console have more oportunity to die than PC.
Think diablo 3 on console is not really atractive and I don't say is not possible but is not same.
The games are going to be realesed sometimes on console and others PC only is a fact that we are going to deal with, as we do now. But say PC or console are dead is not probable beacuse are to big realy big franchises.
Diablo for PC is a fact and if is only for PC I think is fair enough because the gameplay of diablos sagas was disigned for PC.:P
I really don't understand this flame about consoles. In gamespot forums ppl are killing thenself in a PS3 vs. XBOX 360 fight. I like video game no matter the plataform. Just buy the one that have more games that you want to play.
And mouse are not a problem. All consoles have mouse and keybord =_='
..but if it were, PS3.
This would be awesome to stretch the PS3 capabilities.
(yes I'm a PS3 fanboy)
..but mine got stolen. >.<
Fuckin pisses me off.
YES!
While some of you say it failed on PS1, I disagree! I played countless hours... While the controls take a little while to get used to, longer for some than others, it was a great console game.
I say why not have diablo3 everywhere humanly available, I honestly don't think it could take away from the PC version which is all I really plan to play.
If I could link up with all my 360 fans on live and play that would also be kick ass!
If it does hit console I pray it hits all and every console (unlikely) but If it had to be only one I say put it one of the NEXT gen console's (I'm sure everyone knows by now that they are just around the bend)
It would be silly to release it on any of the consoles today though , they would be be severely underpowered making them tone down the game.
No one really knows for certain what the new consoles will bring, so no one can really say for sure if it would have a negative or positive result in the long run for the Blizzard.
I said it once and I'll say it again. Unless you want to pay a subscription fee, Blizzard is going to rely on box sales for this game. That means they have to sell as many copies, not subscriptions as they can. If they want to also sell it on the consoles I don't understand why you would have a problem with it, just buy the PC version instead of the console version. Since they simplified the controls an XBox 360 port should be pretty easy and a PS3 version may take some work but it could happen.
Just be glad the damn thing has finally been announced and is definately going to be on PC and Mac. Don't worry about whether or not the console owners get it too. Be worried if you're not going to get it.
You do realize that releasing it for more platforms means that the online community will be split amongst these platforms?
You'll have people playing online only on the PS3 or the 360, instead of all of them playing on a single platform. It's all about making the online expirience as best as it can be, and in doing so increasing the shelf-life of the product. So yeah, for the people who are planning on getting the PC version, it's a shame to lose that many players online. It does affect me.
I don't know what my friend was smoking but uhhh he said it's gonna come out for the PS3, but personally I doubt it. HOWEVER, I wouldn't mind playing D3 on a big wide screen TV in HD so... if I HAD to choose it'd be the PS3.
Just plug your computer into the TV...

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
Heres what I think.
Diablo is a PC game, and should stay that way.
Putting such a fantastic game on console, will basturdize Diablo completely.
Letting the console companies get they pathetic hands on such godly material would be a disaster.
Who the fuck want Microsoft adding downloads in D3?!?!?!
That would RUIN the game.
Should they put Diablo III, my soon to be prized possesion, on console?
Not no.....but HELL NO!!!!

Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you.
Granted, the Playstation version of Diablo wasn't all that bad in my opinion, it just wasn't the same as on the PC. I only played it in a pinch or if someone was hogging the computer.
They should just keep with what they're doing and just get the PC version as perfected as possible and not worry about changing code around etc. to get it onto consoles.
Im pretty sure though, given the information by Blizzard, that there WILL NOT be a console version of Diablo III.
They wont want to make the transition of formats (PS3, Xbox360, Wii)
The format layout of these new console are entirely different than that of the PS1.
Plus, I doubt Blizzard will sell out their franchise that has done so well.
Blizzard likes to keep their creations to themselves.
They wont sell out.

Just make the game with Support for mouse and keyboard! Thats all you need give a set away with the console version and every one plays on blizzards servers. Ive been waiting for a game to just support mouse and keyboard!!!!! Don't work around what works when the consoles have built in usb ports and don't start talking about money because you all own rock bank and you cant play rock band with out the stuff they sell you!
I didn't check the whole forum if some one already posted this but I just had to say it for all those who play first person shooters on Xbox and have to deal with duel analog when your a surgeon on a pc wit your mouse!
