[Update]
They guys over at Click Online had a sneaking suspicion that “Next-Gen” was simply an automatic tag used by the hosts of EA’s extra-net press services for what we consider “current-gen” now – something that EA confirmed when they asked them about it.
“[The press site in question] categorises PS3 and 360 as Next gen, it just get automatically tagged.”
The tags have since been corrected, and we can all go back to speculating when we’ll see real next-gen announcements rocking up.

The rumour mill is hard at work, insisting that EA is planning to release games for next-generation consoles next year. The source of the rumour is a list published by EA detailing some of the games that it currently has in development.
The list includes a bunch of new games for Xbox 360 and PS3, but it also lists games for NXG (next-gen). Games planned for next gen consoles, according to the list, include FIFA Street, Mass Effect 3, FIFA 12 and most interestingly, Battlefield 3.
Of course, Sony’s PlayStation Vita is technically a next generation console, but whether or not this is what NXG is refering to remains to be seen.
Rumour mongers insist that because recent games like Battlefield 3 and FIFA 12 are being developed for next-gen platforms, we can expect them out next year.
EA has always referred to Battlefield 3 as a next generation game running on current hardware. Can console gamers expect an experience similar to Battlefield 3 on PC with Sony and Microsoft’s next generation of consoles? Only time will tell.
