Do you have a source for the idea that EA might try to make their own console? I'm pretty comfortable from here thinking this is a fantasy - as successful as EA is, they don't have the cash to win a console war.
I don't see any contradiction in MS denying a Mass Effect 2 - this is standard PR protocol until something is announced and, after all, they won't be publishing it, so why should they acknowledge it, if indeed there is anything to acknowledge?
As for disbanding BioWare if/when things go bad - we all know this - but it largely depends on BioWare's sales, doesn't it? Riccitello made the Drs (and himself) some very nice cash in (arguably) overvaluing BioWare, so I don't suppose they can complain however the future pans out.
