Diablo only has ONE control so it's kind of hard to lose something between the PC and a console.
And the PC version of the game is completely different. They've already said the console version will be a new game from the ground up. They don't believe in ports.

He means they're dumbing down the game itself, not necessarily the mechanics. I think Blizzard is realizing that big money lies in casual gamers and not the hardcore (a lesson they learned from WoW). DIII is going to be a dumbed down version of an already dumb game as far as character development (skill trees and stats) goes.
