Blizzard Says Diablo III On Consoles – “They might discover the game isn’t suited to consoles”

[Gamercide]

Diablo 3 or “D3″ as  many fans are dubbing it is getting ready to launch tomorrow May 15th to an antsy PC crowd.  Meanwhile gamers on the console end have been waiting on word on whether on not Diablo 3 will see the light of day after Diablo makers Blizzard had posted job openings that appeared to make it seem like they wanted to test the waters with Diablo heading over the PS3 and or Xbox 360.  Well anxious console gamers I hate to burst your bubble, but that was not entirely true and Blizzard has the perfect explanation.

In an interview with Gamasutra, Blizzard’s Jay Wilson said that they were kind of lying in order to gain more employees, but they still remain unsure about Diablo’s future on a console.

“We tell people that basically we’re experimenting, because it helps us hire people. The better people we hire, the better chance we have to actually make it.  That’s why we haven’t kept it super secret, but we also haven’t confirmed it, because we’re not sure yet whether we think it will work, and whether we think we have the resources to do it.”

Take that however you want to, but I’ll pretty much say that’s a no for right now.

Even if they did it sounds like they haven't even started so I'd imagine a year or more at best if it does happen.
