Speaking to Eurogamer, EA Games label president Frank Gibeau confirmed that Star Wars: The Old Republic and Warhammer Online are both being considered for console release. Star Wars: The Old Republic was announced yesterday at a media event in San Francisco.

"We're definitely looking at the opportunity to bring the MMO experience to console, without question. We've got this product, and we've got Warhammer at play," Gibeau continued, "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."

"They're both under consideration," he responded when asked if he meant Star Wars: The Old Republic or Warhammer Online, adding, "We're not really in a place to commit or announce anything specific with regards to those."

Thanks to Joystiq for the tip.
