I have been saying for a while, and hoping even longer, that their next MMO will be based on the canned Starcraft: Ghost. Something like Planetside(never played but aware of it) or one of the other FPS-MMORPGs that failed to deliver. There's a huge player base of "twitch-gamers" gamers out there playing FPS games for free, and it is something they could bring to consoles to capitalize on the Halo crowd if the controls are simple enough.
While I am a huge fan of the idea, I'll bet you three internets that game isn't going to come from Blizzard. I hated what SOE ended up doing to Planetside, that game looked like exactly what I had been hoping until it turned out it wasn't, and I'd really want a quality replacement some time soon. That said, and has been noted quite a few times here, Blizzard isn't in the "breaking new ground" business. They come in after the early settlers, take a look around and combines everything done up until now in the right way, and spicy it up with quality control and does it properly.

My money is on Starcraft as well, although I'd call it VERY optimistic to think it'll hit anything but early beta by 2010.
