The devs did.
They went for a painted/water colour look for the game, graphically it's not that demanding (I.E. Threw the Direct X 10/11 effects out the window and stuck with only Direct X 9), heck Blizzard in all it's wise Wisdom doesn't even let me run the game at 7680x1440 due to the 2D artwork not being able to scale to such a resolution.
I'm assuming they thought of the consoles while they were releasing the game on PC, because even a 7 year old PC can run it fine. (I.E. Core 2 Duo)
What surprises me though is that they aren't releasing it on the Xbox, maybe it's because of Xbox Live! limiting Blizzards Battle.net and thus the Auction House perhaps? Who knows, the Xbox certainly could run it.
Thanks to the lessons Blizzard learn't during Diablo 3's horrible horrible horrible PC launch, I hope it goes smoothly for you console gamers.
And most importantly, I hope for some cross platform gaming. :P

lol theres no ways you can blame consoles for Blizzard's fuckup with Diablo 3. They made it very clear they wanted to make the game more accessible and casual friendly in general. This included making silly changes to the gameplay as well as the cartoony graphics which looks very similar to WoW, which has done well for them.
Consoles clearly didnt have anything to do with it. Also, i dont see how going for a different style would have meant that it won't come to consoles? Its a top down, action RPG. They have never been graphically demanding games.
