After long speculation and a few affirmative hints (http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/11/16/0545226/blizzard-seeking-console-devs-for-diablo-related-concept), Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 3 will have a console version (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2012/01/diablo-3-is-coming-to-consoles.ars). Responding to a fan who asked him to 'confirm or deny' a console version of D3, Blizzard community manager Bashiok said, 'Yup. Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo console project (https://twitter.com/#!/Bashiok/status/156215812473098240).' Here's hoping Blizzard remains one of the few companies to fully develop both the console and PC version of their titles, rather than simply porting the Xbox version to PC. I think we've all had enough of bizarre scrolling, menus that can't be used with a mouse, and 'Controls' menus that don't even bother replacing the 360 controller image with an actual keyboard layout.
