EA is supposedly going to partner up with Microsoft and its next-fen console. Although this has not been confirmed it seems highly likely that this is going to happen. When Sony introduced the PS4 last week, EA did not attend. This leads me to believe that they have some sort of partnership deal with Microsoft. This will be a good choice for EA considering what they have gone through in the past two years or so, the lay-offs and such. On top of that this will more then likely increase the sales of Microsoft's new console because there are so many loyal EA fans that will want to buy Microsoft's console for the sole purpose of these games.
Some people speculate whether EA will release an entire game or just downloadable content that will be exclusive to Microsoft. However, I believe that there will be an exclusive game. This has been a popular trend ever since the current generation consoles have been released. On Microsoft's side we have the Halo series from Bungie and on Sony's side we have the uncharted series Naughty Dog. This has worked very well for these two companies and more and more companies are starting to do the same.
If EA is able to pull this off they will be able to retrieve fans that they have lost and maybe even gain new fans. They will have to compete with not only other large companies but also the abundance of independent game creators that have created fantastic games that millions play.
