EA Sees Next-Gen Hardware Debut Soon?

Electronic Arts CFO makes a bold claim as to which next-gen consoles he predicts will be out first.

From Gamers.com:

Sony or Microsoft may make an announcement regarding a next-generation console soon, Electronic Arts chief financial officer Warren Jenson said during today’s EA earnings conference call. In what may be idle speculation or a hint of what’s to come, Jenson answered a question about Sony and Microsoft’s next consoles by saying that we may see an announcement from “one of those two” in “the next 3-5 months.”

Any major word of next-generation hardware would come at E3 in May, which lands neatly in the middle of that timeframe, so Mr. Jenson may simply be speculating based on that common-sense assumption. It may be that he knows something we don’t, however — we’ll see what shakes out in May.
