Forums - Gaming - EA: next-gen consoles out “probably starting next year”

VG247

EA CEO John Riccitiello has said he’s expecting full next-gen console reveals in 2013.

 

The exec, speaking of EA stock troubles in a CNBC interview, said: “A major catalyst going forward, and the most important catalyst going forward is visibility on next-generation console, because that NPD data – that minus 10-25% that you’ve been seeing – that can and should be reversed out and some point, probably starting next year.”

The comment means Riccitiello expects NPD to be tracking physical next-generation console sales in the US in 2013.

General expectations are that the next Xbox and PlayStation consoles will be announced at or around E3 next year.

So, they have prepared games for the next gen.... What might that be...



looks like captain obvious is working for EA



I read it like EA was stating that Sony and Microsoft have the only next gen systems. That is the way the article is poorly written up and makes it seem. Doesn't matter to me though considering I boycott EA.  I just wanted another reason to not like them.
