So the supposed Xbox360 version comes out before the PC version? Interesting...

Vivendi (which owns Blizzard) merged with Activion. The same Vivendi is now the majority shareholder of the new Activion Blizzard company, and that same Vivendi gave independent management and development to Blizzard all these past years and did not mind that there was no Diablo 2, Warcraft 3 or WoW port. Also, the same Vivendi knew not to mess up the management of the most profitable third party developer and promised Blizzard that the merge with Activion won't change things.
By the way, Blizzard never ported their own games, it was always outsourced teams. Blizzard doesn't bother with ports.
And the most important part, a big reason of this merge was consolidation, to streghten both on console and PC sides. That is why Vivendi and Activion merged: Activision had a good hold on console department but no PC hold, while Vivendi was the opposite with terrible console-side strength but a powerful hold on PC market (Blizzard + Sierra)
