A short time ago, when this rumor arose, EA basically said that they have no desire to produce hardware of their own, and that they'll continue their multiplatform strategy into the foreseeable future.
Now, an EA + Microsoft alliance... THAT would be something to watch.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
