I honestly don't see EA releasing a console for a couple of reasons:
1) they will most likely lose their exclusive license deals
2) they would lost too much money.
3) Kind of goes along with 2, they are viewed "negatively" by so many gamers that I don't think there is any possible way their console could be a success.
As for Live, yes I think that its making a rebound, but don't think that it will surpass 2k, at least not this year. With 2k guys making their way over will help, but these guys are basically going to have to start from scratch.
And I do think that 2K needs a big fall this year. NBA and NHL are going to have to sale like hotcakes, which won't be a problem for NBA, to try and keep 2k afloat. I am not sure why they pulled APF, as they could've expanded upon it and released it right about now and sold numerous of copies in my opinion. The lack of replay value hurt them last year.
And I won't say the presentation in Madden is a huge improvement. Its where it should've been 3 years ago.
