No more riddles: Blizzard hiring for “console Diablo III”

It's been known for months that Blizzard have been trying to hire some people to fiddle with console ports, nothing to see here.

However, I laugh in the face of people that actually think a console port would do any damage to the PC version. Don't tell me you guys actually believe that the PS1 version of Diablo 1 hurt the PC version's sales?!

To be honest, how would a console version compare to the PC version though? No Battle.net, no patches, no mods, no longevity, worse gameplay, etc... it's Diablo 1 all over again.

Shio... nobody cares.

Yes, a lot of people, myself included, will want to play this on PC. Some people will want to play it on x360/ps3 which is fine too. The problem you (and vlad321) have is this wierd superiority complex about pc gaming. To you guys, pc gaming is this mythical entity which mere console folk cannot possibly understand or enjoy, probably due to a lack of skills.

No, what I don't understand is why someone would want to play a vastly console port if they can play it the superior PC version (usually). At least that is what some people here are claiming, by saying that a console port would steal sales from the PC version.
