Let me preface this with, I've been playing Diablo since this first one came out, but I'm not the min/max'ing type and I typically don't look up builds online or anything like that.
I recently got the console version of D3 to play with my roommate and friends. I've had the PC version (CE of both Vanilla and RoS) since release, and I rolled a DH on PC and loved it. I have one of each class on PC, DH is highest, rest are around 60ish. Fast forward to the PS3 version we're playing, and oh my god, the DH has to be the worst freaking class ever.
From the very first, classes like Wizard, Crusader, and Barbarian just basically rape face. And they do it all the way through. Monks, meh, not as much. But Demon Hunters and Witch Doctors, ugh. They're squishy right from the start, they don't do all that much in the way of damage, and they can't handle large groups of mobs like the first three I listed. Now remember, I have experience with DH, it's my PC main. I don't know what the deal is; every class I've started has been on Master difficulty, and I've been solo'ing just fine. But DH and WD, I had to knock it down Hard just to be able to survive.
I didn't have that issue on PC, and on PC, we don't have all the fancy things the consoles do, like being able to dodge or the speed bonus for breaking shit. Even with Nephalem Glory, my damage is still pitiful. I can take about 3 hits before I need to pot.
Crusader though, my god, what a fucking TANK. All the life gain they get, I don't think I've used a potion but maybe once. Barbarian, just jump in and mow shit down. Wizard isn't as hardy, but can still kill large groups fairly easily.
