In an interview with Gamasutra, Diablo 3 Director Jay Wilson touched on the subject, if fans were going to see a console version of the highly anticipated RPG.

In an attempt to avoid confusion, Wilson stated, “We tell people that basically we’re experimenting, because it helps us hire people. The better people we hire, the better chance we have to actually make it. That’s why we haven’t kept it super secret, but we also haven’t confirmed it, because we’re not sure yet whether we think it will work, and whether we think we have the resources to do it.”

Seeing how countless macros come in to play when utilising such an intricate combat system, as found in Diablo, a direct port wouldn’t make sense. However, Blizzard has been trying to expand their market by tackling new platforms for quite some time now, which leaves us to believe that Diablo 3 would be the perfect place to start.
