Who would be able to play Diablo with a controller anyway..? If M$ made the 360 with mouse and keyboard support maybe we would see it. Highly doubt it though...
How is this 360 related?

Wilson specifically talks about consoles in the interview. That's how.
You know, the next time I decide to write a story about world politics you are welcome to question the relevance but when a story specifically talks about consoles (which the Xbox 360 is btw) you should just simmer down sunshine.
Also, M$ is so 2002.

Was your snide and sarcasm really needed? A simple question "How is this 360 related?". In the interview [which I did read] the 360 was not even mentioned.
If any current generation console had a chance to see a Diablo 3 port it would be the PS3 with mouse and keyboard support.
Did you play Starcraft on the 64? It was harder than hell to control! I never bought C&C3 for 360 because a mouse and keyboard outperform a controller in that situation. I think Civilization uses the controller well but I bet you a mouse and keyboard would be easier!
Here is a fine example of how controls make a game. Compare the PC version of the new Penny Arcade game to the XBLA version. I found that a mouse and keyboard felt far more comfortable than a controller. No question about it regardless of rumors there was no way this was coming to consoles let alone the 360 and hence my comment.
So...
Next time you write an article try to add more than a simple paragraph reiterating an article what another journalist took the time to research, or better yet don't write anything at all...just post us the read link.
You make quite a statement with your comments on how 360Fanboy treats it's readers. I've seen you put down your readers time and time again. You need to grow up be a little more mature as you apparently don't take criticism well.
Who cares if it's from 2002...it still applies to 2008...

Your opinion matters so much to me that I actually read that entire manifesto.
Really, I did.

I can't believe you're arguing this with him. Also, trying to demonstrate there is wit behind using M$ is pretty sad. It just makes everyone think you're a jerk right off the bat.

You are incorrect. The story has not been edited since it was set up in the queue at 3:00pm this afternoon.

Blizzard designed the game interface to be more suitable with the mouse.
Hmm but then Diablo III with achievements on the Xbox360 could be worth it too....

You guys are all retarded. This is related to xbox because there were rumors even before diablo III was announced that it might be coming to consoles. However this confirms that there are no plans for it to come to the 360, therefore Xav informed all 360 fanboy readers that diablo 3 will not becoming to the 360. Do you see how it is related now?

Please make this the last Diablo-related story posted on X3F. I'm so sick of hearing about this stupid game.
