So you love Diablo, but haven’t bought a new PC since Half Life 2, eh? Then stay awhile, and listen:
According to an announcement on the Diablo III community page, Blizzard is looking to fill “Console Positions” for a Diablo-related concept. They’re quick to qualify this with an assurance that the Windows and Mac versions of the sequel won’t be affected by any plans for a console Diablo.
Blizzard hasn’t had much luck (or interest) with consoles in the last decade, with the dead-on-the-vine shooter StarCraft: Ghost serving as their most memorable misstep. It’s important to remember that Blizzard worked in the console domain back in the ’90s, carving out a reputation for themselves with output like The Lost Vikings and Blackthorne. Granted, the development environment’s much different now, but it won’t be such an unimaginable sea change for them.
Diablo III, the upcoming sequel to the famous and too-often-cloned action RPG, arrives for the PC in 2011. Hopefully.

I first played Diablo 1 on the playstation 1. It was a good port. And my again comp. and tiny monitor can't compete with my ps3/plasma set up. Make it happen!
This is the best news I've heard in this or any other universe! I also have the console version of Diablo, it is my all time favorite game. Bring on the next-gen mayhem!
They're not getting Diablo III, it's for a spin-off ala Ghost. Lets hope this one turns out better than did.
