Yeah, I don't get where Diablo 3 has been "consolized," that claim is a pretty long stretch.
Though isometric ARPGs have worked on consoles before, D&D: Heroes for the original Xbox was a blast, especially 4 player coop.

The problem with the "lite" is that it will be discontinued 16 months later for whatever MS has in store next.
Not sure it is a good idea for consumers unless the Lite is really cheap.
Best guess? The Xbox Lite is primarily geared as a media set-top box like Apple TV, only with enough computational power to run some XBLA titles and legacy Xbox games. Could very easily be priced at $79-99, though.

the firm made the decision to look at a console release for the title not primarily for financial reasons, but because it feels "that particular product makes a lot of sense" on platforms other than PC.
Sure actiblizz, sure. I believe that.
SPend any time looking at diablo 3 and it's clear where they made concessions for consoles.
