Blizzard’s Diablo III could be heading to PS3, if a listing on German retail site Redcoon (http://www.redcoon.de/B362894-Blizzard-PS3-Diablo-3_Rollenspiele-Adventure) is correct.
Such an announcement would be a massive PR coup for Sony, with Blizzard’s high-profile IP being PC only for several years now.
That’s not to say that the SKU – if it’s even real – would be a PS3 exclusive, although the site does not contain any listings for an Xbox 360 version.
Blizzard has never officially announced a console version of the game, but admitted in 2010 that it was working on a “console concept” (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/blizzard-working-on-diablo-console-concept/05986) for the game.
Last year it said it was assembling a console team (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/blizzard-assembling-console-diablo-iii-team/083370) for Diablo. It has even mentioned an Xbox 360 version (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/blizzard-diablo-iii-feels-better-with-360-controller/085261) specifically.
