I believe both the developers for Diablo III and Star Wars: The Old Republic have stated the games are only going to be for PC. I know 100% that BioWare made a statemet that STar Wars: The Old Republic was only going to be for PC. As for Diablo III, I don't see them putting it on consoles, simply because they're coming out with a 'new form of Battle.net' and most likely want to keep it focused on PC. Probably to combat piracy and hacking. Trying to put games on consoles would just complicate coding and hacking prevention efforts. Since Diablo III is probably going to sell anywhere from 6-15 million easy on just PC, I don't think they are worried about moving to consoles. Plus, they've already announced Diablo III, like Starcraft II, is going to have multiple expansion packs. Kind of hard to do for consoles (though not impossible). |
Blizzard has said they have no plans to bring SC to consoles, since they feel RTS doesn't work well on consoles, they didn't say anything like that for D3. And I wasn't necessarily talking about TOR specifically, just MMOs in general. They could still easily work D3 for consoles, not that I think they will, but it's easily possible.
As for expansions, totally easy to do on consoles.
I'm really just saying it's all possible. I hope they don't do anything like that, but if they think they can increase their audience easily, and make money off of it, they'll do it eventually.
