While EA may not necessarily be the most loved company at the moment, we?re sure that the publisher still has its fans and the good news is that if you?ve loved the games that EA has put out in the past, you will be pleased to learn that the game publisher has announced that they will be pumping in $80 million in development of games for ?Gen4 console systems? over the next 12 months.

Apart from Nintendo?s Wii U launching later this year, other manufacturers like Sony and Microsoft have yet to officially announce their next-gen gaming consoles. Some have taken this announcement by EA as an indication that next-gen consoles could be launched within the 12 month time frame. It does seem like a bit of a stretch but one can always hope, right? No word on what sort of games EA will be launching on said Gen4 consoles, but it has been suggested that Battlefield 3 is one the games that could make it onto the Nintendo Wii U along with Mass Effect. Either way it will be interesting to see what titles EA will be producing over the next year, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates.
