I don't know why Diablo ever came out on the PC in the first place. The game's frantic pace and button-mashing style of play was better suited to the confines of a joypad more so than the keyboard and mouse. When the title was ported to the PlayStation, I no longer wanted to play it on my family's computer, instead opting for the simplicity offered by the console port. More importantly, I think the port made many console developers take notice - dungeon hack 'n slashers were still very popular and if done right, unlike the recent incarnations of the Gauntlet series, they could be incredibly fun. Snowblind's Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance proved again that the right combination of monster bashing, character development, random item drops, great gameplay, and beautiful graphics could be both a great game and wildly successful in stores - everything a developer can ask for.
