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.

They should all really focus on "portable gaming" more and lose the consoles. When the PSP released I really thought that was the start of something big, something that will lead to being better then consoles, because honestly portable gaming is awesome. But I was wrong and consoles were still stronger. I'm really hoping a new company comes into the gaming industry and creates something amazing, beating Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.

ehh, I don't think there's a big enough leap in technology for the next generation consoles actually being worth it. The leap between Xbox and the Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3, were huge. I think for the most part are current systems are up to date for the most part, we won't see a tremendous change, not even with the graphics. PC is going to win gaming in a few more years because there constantly being upgraded. as much as I love my PS3, I think consoles are going to fall very soon.

Almost 7 years and we're still calling it the New Xbox
There's been talk about this for quite some time. Plus, the Xbox 360 has been around almost 7 years, and the PS3 almost 6 years.
The N64 lasted from '96 to 2001, 5 years. The Gamecube came after, and lasted from 2001 to 2006, with the Wii as its successor. Now it's been 6 years after the Wii and the Wii-U is coming out. Nintendo releases console roughly every 5 years. This gen of consoles as been running way too long. It doesn't seem like that for me either, but it's true.
FTP can't belive their new consoles. since thier was PS3 and Xbox 360 for a few years now i thought it would be even more years.

ScantyPBJScantyMazurMinecartAR15 Can't wait to see what the final product is going to look like.
I hope it's somthing small, I'm running out of room. :o
I doubt it, noting the current sizes i doubt they'll be much smaller.
Wouldn't they be bigger though, seeing as they're going to add more things to them?
yes, but they try to make the bigger things as small as possible
I guess you're right on that. I don't really have any room for a newer console though :/
Actually I have plenty of room for the next Xbox and my old one will be placed in a different room.
