Speaking at today’s huge Star Wars: The Old Republic reveal in San Francisco, EA Online boss-man Frank Gibeau mentioned that both the BioWare MMO and Warhammer Online were both “under consideration” for home consoles.

“They’re both under consideration,” he said, although he added: “[but] we’re not really in a place to commit or announce anything specific with regards to those.”

The executive explained that many factors needed to be considered before a decision was reached.

“We’ve got this product, and we’ve got Warhammer at play,” he said.

“So we’re trying to look at the primary research required to understand how would you deploy it, what the client size looks like, how big is the back-end, what the play experience looks like… Once we’ve got some of those questions answered, we’ll be able to decide which is the right play to go after.”

We can only hope. May the force be strong with this decision.
