“We don’t decide up front that we want to make a console product. We just want to make a great game. If the best experience involves a mouse and a keyboard, we’ll put it on PC. If it plays better with a controller, that’s the route we’d take. If it works on both, and we don’t have to make any meaningful alterations or compromises to the experience, we’d make it for both.”

That's why Blizzard hasn't.

But you cannot for the 360, and likely other consoles. Also people who buy a PS3 typically don't plan on using a keyboard and mouse for it, regardless of whether they can or not. That quote was from a higher up in Blizzard, explaining why they don't. And I for one, agree with it.
