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.

I hope its a colour version if not a limited edition of coloured consoles
I have a feeling both are going to be black, maybe the xbox would be white.
Maybe it will have 2 different colors like black & white.
that will be cool, i wish i had the White xbox slim, that would be really snazzy!
OMG dude that would look sick, hopefully they do that!

M60MinecartM60ScantyM60ScantyEmazing-LightsScantyMazur-Pretentious- Sooo both of the new consoles have been made already???
no they're both still in dev mode. the labels president probably saw devkits though.
You see, that's what I thought.
Yeah I knew that the label president didn't see the finish product.
He was probably only saying that to make everyone jealous and excited.
Or he has actually saw them Microsoft will have atleast 1 xbox 720 created as they release in less than 2 years
I doubt he saw the finished product. It was probably just something they threw together to show what they have so far.
Not fully finished but the outside design and stuff
I wonder what it looks like. :D

What is the Devkit? Is that like the model, or the prestage? Really would like to know because I'm hearing a lot of "Devkit" and "Durango" talk these days.
A Devkit is like a pre-prototype of a console or something, it's what they use to continue to work on and add features and stuff to the final product.
