This is why I think that EA is not going to welcome a new Playstation and Xbox and the higher development costs that go go along with it for a very long time. They may support the systems out in the open, but behind closed doors they would rather milk this generation for wha it's worth.
EA has been rumored to have either early Durango or Orbis dev kits since around E3 2011.
Also EA is expected to have a massive year coming up. Dead Space 3, Sim City, Comand and Conquear, and Dragon Age 3, and battlefield 4 among other things.
Also you really don't think EA plans to do another massive overhaul of Madden/Fifa. I think they're going to have the same engine for every sports game.
People said the same thing about the Wii when its development costs were lower than the other systems.
Eh I think most developers want a bigger spec jump than the Wii U. Crytek said they wanted 32GB of ram and hinted that the other next gen systems will have 4-6GB of ram.
With a smart dev unless your working on a major game I'm not expecting costs to increase that much with Durango/Orbis.
The biggest factor that needs to change for the other next gen consoles are more developer friendly in some aspects of the online.
