Along with the announcement of the console release dates, Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, gave his thoughts on the gameplay experience of Diablo III as well as the development process:

“Playing _Diablo III _on a big screen with your friends brings a whole new level of intensity to the game, and with all of the control and interface adaptations we’ve made, it’s extremely fun to play on PS3 and Xbox 360…In addition to the fine-tuning we’ve done for the console versions, we’re also including major content and design updates we’ve made to the PC version over the past year, so players can expect an epic Diablo gaming experience when the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions launch in September.”
