Diablo III to consoles "a theoretical possibility"

I think that D3 on a console would be interesting, and very manageable. You dont "NEED" all of those buttons, and a lot of the complication that arises through the use of potions is now history, so thats one annoying aspect of shortcut keys and such out of the way.

Lets break the keys down for a few seconds:

Main Keys -
Movement
Primary Ability
Change Primay Ability
Secondary Ability
Change Secondary Ability

So Far, this could be achieved using one Analogue Stick and the shoulder Buttons, which leaves the D-Pad, one Analogue Stick and 4 buttons (not including the 'L3/R3' Butons on theAnalogue Sticks) to fit in the secondary Keys, such as -

Open Inventory
Talent tree
Character Sheet
Party Menu
Quests
(Possible addition of a pointer on the Analogue stick?)

I may have forgotten something, but even so, with the spare stick being taken by a mouse pointer, there is still only 5 out of a possible 10 buttons consumed by the functions i just listed, giving room for another 5 shortcuts, if indeed there were a need for it.
Oh and the chat, as i guess a conversation would be difficult on a controller (unless you have the X360 message extension for the controller) I guess voice funtion would have to be considered so that a console user could communicate when he/she is being slaughtered by the big nasties ;).

I may have gone into this way too much, but the thought of having it on a console is a good one in my mind, and especially with XBox Live (and whatever the PS3s online system is called) I think putting D3 on console would be good for getting the game out to gamers who prefer having all of their buttons in one neat place, and dont like playing on a computer.

I hope my theory on putting D3 on a console makes sense to you, and that you might be able to see my point of view on the situation. Whether they ship it on console or not i'll most likely buy it on Pc myself, though i would certainly have to think hard about that, and a lot closer to release date at that. In the mean time, I'm gonna go play WoW using my XBox Controller and XBlade. have a nice day everyone

to all the ppl who are saying you need a mouse and keybored you dont need it......and if the game ships for consles. Blizz would maybe make a controller or something like the guitar hero controller but the controller would be a keybored and mouse.....but you dont need it

To you people who say you need a keyboard and mouse, have you ever played Baldur's Gate?

Go play it, then tell me it can't be done

u cant play d3 on console without usb keyboard and mouse,eather u dindt play any of diablo serial or u play 3-4 console pads

You guys have got to be shitting me....Diablo can EASILY be played with a console.

And "Highly Unlikely?" If blizzard mentioned it, I wouldn't doubt for a second if they did.

well to, if D3 comes to console.... then there is no other way but usb keyboard and mouse... console controllers simply dont have the buttons needed to play games like that...

But i guess whatever goes really..

"still the more widespread is the market the more cash"

not if ppl don't buy it

hmmmm...i guess it won't be worth the developements costs...and the controls...i think are not that well suited for the consoles...still the more widespread is the market the more cash ^_^
