Yes, I know we already have a Diablo 3 thread, but since this is console specific, it gets its own thread in the Console Gaming section.

Responding to a fan who asked him to 'confirm or deny' a console version of D3, Blizzard community manager Bashiok said, 'Yup. Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo console project.' Here's hoping Blizzard remains one of the few companies to fully develop both the console and PC version of their titles, rather than simply porting the Xbox version to PC. I think we've all had enough of bizarre scrolling, menus that can't be used with a mouse, and 'Controls' menus that don't even bother replacing the 360 controller image with an actual keyboard layout.

This is not a confirmation that Diablo III is coming to any console platform. Our focus right now is on finishing the PC/Mac version of Diablo III and making sure it's a worthwhile successor to the Diablo series."
I always knew it was coming to console what with all the dumbed down elements in the game and the bright lively colours...

Well I don't have a problem with Diablo coming to console. I just have a problem if they release Diablo 3 along side PC/Console because 99% will be that they watered down to fit on the hardware then just did a direct port.
Blizzard was known for quality. Activision is just the EA of the last 5 years.
Erm just look at the graphic images already shown to us. It has been watered down already, from the screenshots alone it will run on my old FX-62 with 4GB RAM at high detail along side a 8800GT. The bright colours are to distract you from relatively poor graphics...
/still biased about this game and still heart broken that Blizzard decided to WoW the game despite it being a new year...
