Diablo 3 To Go Multiplatform?

There has been talk and speculation for years now about Diablo 3 going multiplatform and releasing on consoles. It seems like now, more that ever this might come to fruition.

There has been a recent job posting and some hints from Blizzard on their Diablo 3 community site.

Blizzard was checking out the feel of playing Diablo 3 on a consoles controller (X Box 360). Getting an idea of different control options.

“We don’t believe you can make a Starcraft style RTS and make it Blizzard great on a console. We do believe you could make an RTS that would be on a console, but we would have (to have) that idea, and that spark and that passion to make it.”

“One of the reasons why we’re exploring the idea of a console version of Diablo 3 because we feel that the controls and the style of the game lend itself to a console. With some of our early experiments in putting a direct control scheme into the game via a 360-like analogue controller, I’ve been ‘Oh this feels even better, with direct control…”

So what does this mean for Diablo 3 making its way to console? Give us your thoughts in the comments area.
