It's funny. Diablo 1 released on PS1 a-year-and-a-half after the PC version. All these years later, Diablo 3 is going to release on PS3 a-year-and-a-half after the PC version.

But even if that argument is unacceptable for whatever reason, you only need to take a look at Blizzard. Take a long, hard look at Blizzard.

As a World of Warcraft player since ~ 2006, I can tell you there is absolutely nothing odd about Diablo 3's design. From the moment The Burning Crusade ended its run and Wrath of the Lich King was introduced, it was clear that Blizzard wanted to target a more casual audience. Talent trees were trimmed down to a shell of their former selves.  Many stats were completely removed from the game to replace number crunching. DPS was normalized across the board to make everyone even; unique abilities were taken away.

Perhaps it's a sign that WoW is also coming to consoles, heh. But anyway, this seems like a load of hot air over nothing to me. I'll be welcoming Blizzard onto PlayStation, whether the Diablo 3 "fans" are or not, really.
