Today in Paris at the Blizzard World Invitational, Blizzard Entertainment revealed much anticipated RPG, Diablo III. With past rumors suggesting that Blizzard was developing for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, PSU.com contacted Blizzard Entertainment to see if Diablo III would see light of day on console platforms.
"Yes, this is PC/Mac," said the Blizzard Representative. "As with all of Blizzard Entertainment's recent releases, Diablo III will ship for both Windows and Mac simultaneously."

So as of right now, PlayStation 3 gamers will have to find something else to satisfy their dungeon RPG hungers. Stay tuned to PSU.com for more information.

err? to me it sounds more like its just saying that it will come to PC and MAC at the same time, not saying there will be no console version, blizzard are whores, there will be atleast a 360 version.

We contacted Blizzard about a rumor PSU heard....that Blizzard currently has Xbox 360 and PS3 dev kits, and they responded stating
"We can't comment on rumors and speculation."

I doubt I'll get Diablo III now.
I can't be bothered to go back to PC. -

shouldn't this be titled "console version not likely"? When I first saw it, it gave me the impression that it was going to the 360 but not PS3, which I know will get some people going.

Well, all they did was a "no comment" on console porting, basically. If this sells tons, I could see them making a port. Frankly though, it would be best suited for the PS3 due to mouse and keyboard support. If they did that, they wouldn't need to change much and re-engineer things for console controllers. Let's hope so!

That sucks seeing as the PS3 can use a keyboard and mouse. I hope Blizzard rethinks this or may be Activision will make them rethink it them self.

So if Diablo isn't on ps3 - i'll be playing it by streaming it to the ps3 anyway - how funny... us gamers just like the big effects on the big screen - they don't want to sell it to us... well we find another way hehe. www.streammygame.com
I've been using pc's for the last 25yrs (Long live the microbee) and Diablo is an institution - I hope the PSN releases diablo 1 soon! C&C on it was soo cool.
Anyways - Sacred 2 is coming out on PS3 now in November- its similar to Diablo and has a good story as well. I was fearing the worse when i heard S2 wasn't coming out on ps3 however they clarified it a few weeks ago. W00t.
Something about this genre which has me thinking... its so popular but there is not a huge developer base for it. The 3d iso format gives a good view of the action... i hope there is some more coming out - i don't really care for zooming in to see pixels.. i just want a zoomed out 3d action RPG in the diablo mold please! (and while your at it, make a lot please developers lol)

I have a pc, I also have an Xbox 360. I would much rather sit on the comfort of my lounge in front of my 50 inch LCD than in front of my little pc screen anyday. Why are Blizzard so slow to realise this? With the advent of HD TV there is no longer a
