Is it possible that Diablo 3 will come out on the ps3? I would like to see on there, but I haven't seen anything like that on a console before....

Why not? If WoW came to Ps3 with a buttload of new crap about 13 million ps3's would get sold in a matter of 4 hours. I'm not a big fan of RTS games, but I just got into civ4, which is phenomenal, and if diablo 3 is a major improvement, I might get it myself.

The game is possible since the interface is easier to port than, lets say, a RTS... There are similar games on consoles available now.

But Blizzard does not like consoles overall... So, most likely it is not going to happened.

Possible, yet unlikely. Still, I don't know why Blizzard hasn't really opened up to the idea of console games. It's a huge market, but I guess development costs and possibly quality suffer as a result of it.

This is correct. Joystiq has an interview with Jay Wilson, Lead Designer of D3, in which they ask him about a console version. The answer:

"Do you have any plans for Diablo on consoles?
We don't have any plans."

Sorry guys who were hoping for this.

It is very possible, but not likely. From a technical standpoint, Diablo is perfectly suited for consoles. As seen with Diablo in the PSX the mechanics havent changed much. Potions could be accessed as before with the shoulder buttons. You could have the skill list in the R2L2 or some sort of quick access from the D-Pad. The R3 could be used for the different options, Skills, Stats, Inventory. Pause would open the options and the face buttons would handle attack and cast. Its really easy to put it on consoles, with the only draw back being localized spells as the curses from the Necro in D2. Also, the PS3 accepts any Keyboards and Mouse so its even more possible.

Hopefully, they might consider doing it for the PS3. I definitely cant play D3 on my laptop since its not that advanced.

Everyone you have to remember that with the PS3 you have the option to use a mouse and keyboard unlike the Xbox 360. So the more likely candidate is PS3 less need to worry about button mapping and programming.

They wouldn't make it on PS3 purely because of K&M support - that's called a PC.
