I don't know how they're going to accomadate the players choice regarding the whole Civil War fieasco, cause the thought of Ulfric sitting upon the throne of skyrim sickens me.

Maybe they'll do what Bioware does and import your desicions into the next game, or maybe they'll say everything went fine and give us thta fairy ending so many players were hopping for, or maybe they'll pull the Dragon Break excuse out of their ass again. I'm betting they will go "The stormcloak rebellion got the empire out of skyrim, but Ulfric died in battle before he sat on the throne." or "The empire was successful in retaining skyrim, but gen tullius was killed in the intense fighting". Some way or another, Ulfric dies and Tullius dies, some third party wins. The battle for solitude/windhelm is NOT the final battle (that's why beth kept the imperial and stormcloak camps.) Although chances are, Skyrim will be independent andthe empire will fragment (as it should, naturally, without a strong ruler). Therefore, the CW isn't too much of a problem.

Of course, the bioware options seems good to me. Except if the dragonborn ended up becoming an enemy (I don't want to fight my exploit dragonborn anyday) The fact that they could have sent Imperial Soldiers from all over Tamriel to Windhelm to kill him would probably mean that the Empire won.
