I can understand Diablo more, it can be adapted and played single player really easily. With LoL the whole point of the game is competitive multiplayer. If the Xbox people only have access to Xbox players it might be a mild success. But if it is somehow cross over I'm highly skeptical that even a tailored control scheme can match KBM in this case.
I can't see much benefit to it personally but I've been wrong before.
Tuesday is hardware talk, the vision for the platform, Call Of Duty, and a Microsoft First Party game/ MS Published game. Show's only an hour long, so anything that isn't completely mainstream will be at E3... DR3 will definitely be there. Nowhere near big enough to be put on TV.
Edit: Diablo is going to be a monster on consoles, i'm amazed Sony managed to get it as an exclusive, even if it is likely timed.
My post was slightly tongue in cheek and snarky. I'm in one of those moods today.
As I've had that convo with someone I know he was excited about Diablo coming to PS3 and ambivalent about the rumors of LoL coming to next Xbox I'll leave you to guess his console 'affiliation'..

Did Sony spend money to get Blizz to port Diablo 3? I doubt it, because Blizzard has made a point of saying it's not a console exclusive. They're probably footing the entire bill and thus reaping all the profits.

Your friend is probably going to be upset when D3 hits more consoles than PS3/PS4.

Oh, I get you now! I thought you were completely serious because I could see people say that seriously even though I don't really get it.

Big in China and Korea. That stated Korea is big on PC gaming as a professional sport and in general and I doubt many people are going to migrate to LoL on Xbox just because it exists. MS would need to create huge incentive for both sponsors and gamers to migrate.

LoL is huge all over the world, problem is why is anyone going to choose a console version when the PC version is perfect in terms of control and PC requirements? I don't know.
Yea they're likely trying to make it big in Europe in NA if it isn't already.

I don't play games with Europeans. No offense. I just hate Europeans. And Canadians. Australians are awful people too.
Mostly its because I don't possess a gaming PC yet. That will change once I see the new batch of Ultrabooks that come out with Haswell.
Same was said about Minecraft. "Why would I want to play on a controller. Why would I want to play without mods? Why would I want to play on small maps?" 6 million copies later...

I'm confused now. Is it Hawkian, Hawken, or Harken? I looked up Hawken and was unimpressed.

Difference being there were already 70m Xbox 360s out and about. Not going to have that same luxury at launch.
It's Hawken.

Minecraft is a completely different beast, I didn't doubt it would be a success when it was announced. I have huge doubts about LoL being another big get. It's competitive online only.

I have no idea how many people bought a new 360 just for Minecraft though. I know of a bunch, but obviously I can't extrapolate that. From watching videos, I don't think LOL has the same kid appeal that Minecraft has, so not sure who a console version would be aimed at.
Why?

Nah i rather have new games instead of old games. I want to see the first party from MS.

There are tons of consumers who refuse to play games on PCs.
To me those games would be a good start, but nothing huge for me. LoL would be definitely cool to play though finally. Dead Rising 3 could be awesome, but I'd have to see what it turns out like first.
I think people on forums tend to forget that.

Where is this coming from? Or is this just wishful thinking?

D3 is coming to Xbox, obviously. Not sure if want.
As for LoL, that's a pretty good pickup if true, I'd be more skeptical about it's chance for success had Minecraft XBLA not done so well.
I'd classify that as a meh-gaton, at this point.

I guess it's true since I've been one of them. Just wasn't interested in gaming on a monitor. Diablo 3 is for those people as well.
I like messing with our Italian friend. =)
is the most addictive game that i played in the last years...is just a drug really a drug! ...when i started i was like "meh" for the graphics....then i learned how to play it....and is a 10/10 game
in fact is the most played game all over the world with an average of 12+ millions players every day...imagine that world of warcraft at the top had 12 million subscribers

What does that have to do with anything? If you're a League of Legends player...you're playing on PC because that's the only platform it's been available for since it's inception. I doubt the number of people who want to play this online only competitive strategy game but refuse to play it on PC but instead are waiting for a console release are going to be big. I also doubt we'll have millions of people slapping down $499 to play LoL. Minecraft was a perfect fit for Xbox, it's a game that any and everyone can pick up and play without fuss. LoL is definitely not the samething.
LoL on Xbox would be cool, but I disagree with the hilarious notion that it'd be a "megaton" of any kind.

Yep. It's pretty huge. When I first downloaded the Twitch app it's the first thing I noticed. ALOT of people are playing this game.
why wouldnt be a megaton seen that is a fantastic game?
My good friend (in real life) was talking about D3 for months and months before it launched, but he just couldn't justify buying a gaming PC for it. He didn't want to have to deal with buying a new desktop or a laptop. He was excited to hear that D3 was going to come to the PS consoles, but he's holding out to hear if they're coming to the Xbox ones as well. He doesn't have a PS3, but we're definitely going to play the shit out of it if it comes to the 360 (or whatever next-gen console we both get).
Some people just aren't comfortable with playing games on PC. I could see myself buying a gaming PC maybe many years down the line, but for now I'm a console guy as well. I just like the convenience and the knowledge that I won't have as many problems with running games, even if they don't look as nice. Not to mention I've never, ever liked k&m for gaming.
Could have said the EXACT same thing about Minecraft though. I don't see how it's not the same thing.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It could be the 720s Castle Crashers, sell steadily over years if it's the best downloadable multiplayer title. Or like Uno where everyone tries it if it's free.

Why would a current LoL player actively choose to play without KBM, that's what I'm struggling with here. I can see why D3 players will buy the console version, I can see why people wanted Minecraft... I can see why people would want something like WoW.

I thought Sony and Activision singed some deal that was announced during PS4 reveal?
