All I have to say is I hope your ready for that style of play with D3, because it was delayed specifically so it could release on consoles. I had asked Bashok about it personally on the D2 forums during the PTR and, while he didn't admit D3 was coming to the console, he said it might take a longer time to develop if it were coming to the console, and low and behold, a huge delay (although not uncommon for Blizzard, I know) for D3's release. I hope Bliz nails it with D3, but I fear it will become the same lame fiasco DS3 has become. If that's the case, I'll be playing Torchlight 3 instead.
Ummmm.. your logic is flawed. Diablo3 was never delayed. In fact, to date, no release date was given. Blizzard always takes long making their games. Also, I see no proof anywhere to support your claim that Blizz would release the game for consoles. You'd think they announce it if they plan on doing it. So no, Diablo3 is PC only as far as I can tell.
Well, I really hope that your right. I don't think the Diablo series has any right being on consoles. Did you ever play D1 of the PS1? Sucked. Anyways, that was the impression I got from Bashok numerous times on the official B.net forums. As to D3 being delayed, I'm aware no release date was ever given, however I've read around the web that some companies who would be carrying the game expected it to come out last year, maybe because of Blizzard's early announcement? Who knows, but I'm pretty sure Bliz is looking to make extra $$, and everyone in the biz knows the console market is a billion dollar market. While I would prefer D3 to remain on PC only, lets face it, Bliz is a company that makes money selling video games, so why wouldn't they release such a highly anticipated game on the consoles also?
