EA Labels president Frank Gibeau recently boasted that he had witnessed both next-generation consoles, and now the man behind EA brand management has told Bloomberg that PlayStation 4 will launch in 2013.
During the interview, Gibeau commented that hardware and software sales tend to flatten out towards the end of a console lifecycle. He said that new hardware is coming "in about a year’s time", but when asked about the real names of PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720, Gibeau backed off, telling the interviewer that his lips are sealed by a non-disclosure agreement. He did say that rebuilding technology to leverage the power of PlayStation 4 is a big investment for EA this year, but the next-gen hints stop there.
