“Immense pressure” for console Diablo III

videogaming247 Blog Archive “Immense pressure” for console Diablo III won’t turn to force from Activision

Quote:
Speaking under conditions of anonymity, a highly-placed source close to Vivendi has told VG247 that, despite comments from Blizzard to the contrary over the weekend, a newly-formed Activision-Blizzard may see a console version of Diablo III as a no-brainer.

“Blizzard will face immense pressure to produce a console version of Diablo III,” we were told. “If Kotick says, ‘We can sell 10 million units of a console version’ - and he will, because they can - it’s an obvious situation. Money talks. You could be looking at nearly half a billion dollars in revenue.

“That said [Blizzard is] in a unique position. Very few people have any sway over them at all.”

Send a message via AIM to YellowHare
They could pull it off, but cross-platform support would be a must.

Diablo 3 would make a great console port; consoles are simply more accessible, nowadays, most people don't want to have to update their computers every six months to play the latest games. This isn't an RTS with a million different shortcuts and hotkeys; it's a fucking hack-n-slash, why shouldn't they bring it to the consoles?

I like Blizzard for staying true to us PC gamers. Don't turn your backs on us now!

Activision-Blizzard is a money making machine, we will most likely see this port.

Seriously, only butthurt, PC elitists would oppose a console port of this game.
