I hate valve.

This is going in the "sony fanboy" pile of evidence.

Seriously.. valve.. sucks... no. That is incorrect.

And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360...

Interestingly, they (Blizzard) allowed ports of both Warcraft and Diablo onto the PS1 back in the day.

Don't know whats stopping them from allowing a similar port to consoles today.

That's a very good question. I believe they were dipping their toes into the console water during a time when many people thought that console gaming was going to destroy PC gaming. That obviously didn't happen, so I'm guessing they decided the low ROI of the experiment didn't justify it.

One thing about Blizzard is they want to keep pushing the hardware, just like id and a number of other PC developers. PC gamers will often go out and buy a new motherboard, graphics card, etc., just to be able to play the latest game, or to play a current game better. With consoles you have a locked-in hardware performance ceiling that doesn't go away until the next generation of consoles, which might be 4+ years later. Yes, there are ways to keep improving how the hardware on a console is used as time goes on, but the same can be said about PC hardware (new DirectX drivers, etc.).
