Joystiq: EA owns Mass Effect … so, what now?

Joystiq writes:

"While Microsoft is still publishing the first installment of the game (which is due November 20) – now that the previously BioWare-owned IP belongs to EA – it is noted that it "would conceivably from here out be EA published."

If one examines EA’s publishing practices, it isn’t difficult to assume that this would also conceivably be a multi-platform title, meaning Microsoft may have just lost one of their biggest exclusives. Will we see a PS3 sequel at parity with the 360? Or perhaps a Wii version: Mass Wiifect … over a dozen minigames … in space."
