Microsoft is the freaking reason Diablo 3's console player base was fractured. I'm 95% sure they are the sole reason that there isn't PC->PS4 cross play ... as not to spite MS.

Hmmm... uhmmm... no.

The PC version of Diablo 3 differs too much from the console version. If anything, there could have been cross play between PS3 and PS4, but it didn't happen.

Not really. Values for skills, items, etc are all the same. Damage calculations are the same, density is the same.

The only differences are:
1.) The GUI
2.) Skill Targeting
3.) Dodge Roll (which does nothing and could just be removed)
4.) No Seasons
5.) Trading isn't limited
6.) Offline play

They ported all the console enhancements back over to PC (except trading if you call that an enhancement). They could easily meld the two to be exactly the same, including online character storage like closed bnet on Diablo 2 (to kill cheating).

Cross generation play is IMPOSSIBLE. Read my reply above.
