EA labels president has "seen both" PS4 and next-Xbox
During his opening keynote at gamescom 2012 attended by Gamespot, Gibeau spoke about free-to-play becoming the dominant pricing model “by the end of the decade,” and showed off Command & Conquer, running on DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine.
But you want to hear about next-gen not F2P games, right? Right. Continue on then.
According to Gibeau, he has “seen both” the new PlayStation and Xbox models and how the gaming systems will change the market.
“Ten years ago we used to measure our market in terms of 200 million people,” he said. “Now we are at a billion people playing games and we have a straight line view on 2 billion.”
Gibeau said EA plans to spend $80 million on next-gen this year alone, which further indicates EA has indeed seen the new machines, otherwise, they wouldn’t be pledging such a large amount of money on phantom hardware.
Microsoft has stayed rather mum on the subject, with the only confirmation that something is tucked under its sleeves being a a cease and desist order regarding leaked documents pertaining to “Xbox 720″ back in June.
Meanwhile, SCE UK boss Fergal Gara told MCV last month the firm would remain “committed to retail,” as it would be an important factor for the next PlayStation “whenever the next cycle,” of consoles landed on the market.

ReflexesAcedReporterReporterDifferent design would be good but they best not move the analogue's ect...Aced-Karma- 7 years of using the same controller, i hope they dont change much on the controller side of things.
I Doubt they will, same shape and maybe different design!
They need a different design. All of the ones leading up to the Xbox look about the same.
Really both. They haven't made HUGE changes yet in my eyes.
Yeah they havent and tbh i doubt they will , maybe in the far future
I do like the feel of the xbox 360 controller compared to the Ps3 one

Agreed, nothing seems to be new to be honest.

M60ScantyMazda3 He has probably only seen bits and pieces because I don't think either company really has a finished product.
You're right, the console(s) are most likely not even finished yet. He probably just saw what they WANT it to look like.
Thats most likely what it is im sure they wouldn't show the real thing
he was probably shown devkits
