In an interview with Gamasutra, Blizzard Entertainment's Sam Didier and J. Allen Brack, hinted at the possibly of the company returning to its roots and developing titles for consoles. Of course the last attempt Blizzard made in the console space was the ultimately "put on hold" Starcraft: Ghost. To put it simple, if it makes sense Blizzard will make console games.
A quote from the relevant part of the interview:
"How invested do you feel in the broader PC market? Blizzard's safety is probably not in question, but do you worry about a less vibrant PC ecosystem going forward?
SD: I don't see the PC market as being bad. I mean, we didn't have 12 million players ten years ago. Whatever the format, console or PC, I think if there is a good game, it's going to be played. We're working on PC because it's familiar to us and it's relatively easy and it's not changing formats every other year and there aren't three different versions. Console, we have to worry about [those things]. I think the PC is really a good market to target.
JAB: It's obviously because we've made only PC games for the last 15 years, but there's a perception, I think, that Blizzard is anti-console, and that's absolutely not the case. We just want to make the right game for the right platform. Think about StarCraft II. Some real-time strategy games have tried to happen on the console. Some of those have been successful, but overall, our experience is that it's going to be a better game on the PC, ergo it's developed on the PC.
It's very similar with World of Warcraft. We developed the game for the PC. It's a very PC-centric control scheme and the way of playing the game is PC-centric. But we're a company of gamers. I have two consoles at home. Sam has consoles. We're a culture of gamers. We will definitely work on a console game at some point. I have no doubt about that. It's just [a matter of] what game. What makes the most sense?
Are you working on one now?
SD: About seven actually. [laughs] We've got StarCraft 17 in the works.
JAB: That's on the Xbox 870, right?
SD: Yeah.
JAB: And World of Lost Vikings. We announced that at Worldwide Invitational Paris a couple years ago."
