Pardo: Diablo III “theoretically possible” on consoles

diablo3a3.jpg

Speaking to Eurogamer at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational last weekend, company design boss Rob Pardo muddied the issue of whether or not Diablo III will make it to consoles further by saying the move isn’t outside the realms of possibility.

“I think it’s theoretically possible. It would have some control changes that I think you’d have to make… But it’s probably, of our major franchises, the one that’s most console friendly, for sure,” he said.

Pardo added: “Out of StarCraft, Warcraft or WOW, Diablo would be the easiest game to translate. But it would still take a bit of work.”

Eurogamer’s also carrying an excellent Diablo III preview today, which is a must-read as far as we’re concerned. And we’re never wrong.
