Yes and no but maybe?

Would cost too much for it to be worth it

Playing this game with a controller sounds like an absolute nightmare. No thanks.
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!
Nah, with all the skills/flasks etc. (and Chris slightly hinting at a skill bar swap button for added skilltasticness), you'd end up being stuck with either a wonky controller layout or the need for selection wheels. It wouldn't be a viable option for the sometimes intense and fast paced nature of the games combat.

You could possibly rework the skill system and flask system a little bit to accommodate it, but it would have to be a pretty elegant rework for it to be a similar experience to the PC version.

Agree with Wretchyplops, the development costs would be prohibitive and the potential for financial success on the console format probably doesn't justify it - there would be an expectation of a higher level of graphical fidelity, as well as significant adaptation and upgrading of the netcode to work with the propriety systems MSoft and Sony have in place. Those are massive cost barriers.

I would better suggest a sale of the license to an interested developer for the consoles/mobile systems, and let them take on the risk. But, we'd probably end up with a diminished product, and that could hurt the long term viability and reputation of the PC version.

I see no real upside :(

Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

Best of luck in the future!
Diablo 3 worked on consoles because the game was dumbed down to cater specifically for a console port.

You can play this game on your PC with a controller it's just a little tricky to setup. I tried it, and yeah.... it's a bit of a nightmare. Mostly it's a total pain the ass to pick up loot once you get used to controlling the cursor with a button.
Which Next Gen Console are you talking about PS4 or Xbox one
