EA doesn't think there is any need for PS4 or Xbox 720 yet

http://www.product-reviews.net/2011/09/01/ea-doesnt-think-there-is-any-need-for-ps4-or-xbox-720-yet/

Electronic Arts or EA, the world's largest publisher and developer of games (market leader), believes that there is so much more potential in the Xbox 360 and PS3 to be focusing on next generation of games. In their upcoming Battlefield 3 game, EA stated that there's more than enough power to run the game how the developer intended audiences to experience it. A good programmer can optimized games so that it can run to the fullest even in older hardware. For example, iPhone4 hardware is outdated and weak by today's standard (single core 1.gz while the competition's phones carry dualcore 1.3ghz, more advance graphic chip, 2-3x more RAM) yet iPhone4's games graphically blow out the competition. How's this possible? Optimizing to a single hardware (iPhone4's hardware) instead of creating a game with wide range of optimizations (the infinite hardware of Androids/PCs).

Wasn't there a thread about this earlier today? Or yesterday?

Personally, it's high time for change. Nothing left to squeeze out of PS3/360. Not that next gen is looking to impress.

I can wait till 2013 maybe 2014.

Didn't bother reading, but I agree. Give it 2-3 years, allow developers to get familiar with the platforms well in advance of launch, and allow for software developers to market products on the PSN Store on XBLM that are natively designed for each system and their respective interfaces. And please, please hurry up and make 4k televisions the new standard and support them, please!!!

What's left TO squeeze, though? A few more FPS? Slightly higher resolutions? Heavens know they won't be trying anything new on either console, just making them run as smooth as their PC counterparts. A futile effort.

I think EA is right. We can have great games on PS3, 360 & Wii U for another three or so years easily. If graphics and tech advancements are that important to you, it would be wise to be gaming on PC.

EA is only looking out for EA... they are a business.

We don't need need consoles until 2014

Well seeing as how they're still at least a year away, I don't think they have anything to worry about. gmaster456

A year away seems kinda soon.

i dont understand why anyone would want to go into the next gen..the 360 may be tapped since only crappy kinect games and the same old thing keeps coming out year after year but ps3 and wii are going strong..hy would anyone wan to start over buy another 300-400 on a consolejsolidus

Xbox 360 release: 2005
Today: 2011
2012 around the corner

7 year old hardware

Sorry but no EA can suck it. We NEED new hardware on the market to move the industry forward. Look at the wii, the hardware it's running on is like 10+ years old. The PS3 and Xbox 360 have aged well but it's time to move forward.

Agreed. With this gen, starting with the huge overhaul of Xbox's dashboard, consoles can now keep updating their software, therefore increasing their life.

The ps360 still has life theres no real immediate reason to change, the wii was the only one that needed a severe update

graphic wise they cant go much higher next gen without the demand for a brand new tv

coolbeans90 doesn't think there is a need for EA.

EA also can't make money and doesn't have any original ip that has reached 10 million mark and only 1 title comparable to assassin creed success. You could imagine how a commpany that is overexpanded (take 2 is far more valuable at this point at least imo) when they don't have any game equivalent to gta or red dead redemption. And few that are as successful as borderlands, la noire, or bioshock series (need for speed, medal of honor)

I completely agree. At least not until 2014.

i agree with them.
