[QUOTE="RealBongo"]what is wrong with wanting to play what will probably be one of the best RPGs of all time in the comfort of my sofa, with surround sound, and big screen TV?MTBare

There isn't. Thats why you have your PC that can do all of that.

I don't think sofa and mouse/keyboard are a very good mix.

EDIT: And before you say, "use a gamepad". No, think how bad D2 would be with a gamepad. Imagine teleporting, or for that matter, the entire sorceress class.

Then it's not going to be good on console?

You would have to redesign the game for a audience that are Diablo virgins.

Which means turning the game on its head, and compromising the already massive and dedicated PC fanbase.

And if that gives them access to a larger potential market, then why would that be a bad thing?

They could compromise their main fanbase and source of sales - ala Unreal Tournament 3.

You honestly think PC gamers would yell and cry at blizzard for porting Diablo 3 to consoles? um no they wouldn't they would be to busy enjoying the wonderfull game to care.

Also the reason why Diablo 2 didn't come to consoles is cause of the expansion, last two gens it would be a bad idea to port a pc game that you where gonna have a expansion for since console gamers had no way of installing the expansion, this gen however they do.

you overestimate PC-only fans.
