Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward seems to be searching for staff to work on a next-generation sequel.

Wii U is, of course, just around the corner and could be considered 'next-gen', if not the big technical leap we'll be expecting with the next PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
It's also not the first time a next-generation Call of Duty has been teased: Black Ops developerTreyarch also put out a job ad last year (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/321279/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-coming-to-xbox-720-ps4/) specifically calling for a senior platform engineer to help bring the game "to a new console".
Again, Wii U or Vita would seem like the most likely consoles in question, but could preparations for the next Sony and MS powerhouses have begun?
