EA's chief financial officer, Blake Jorgensen føler sig ganske overbevist om, at næste generation af konsoller ikke bliver bagudkompatible. Denne kommentar har han om ikke andet givet under en spørgerunde på Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference i San Francisco, i følge Gamasutra.
"An important thing to remember is that next-gen consoles will most likely not be backwards compatible... If you [play] multiplayer on a game, you'll most likely not be able to play with someone on a different generation."
"No one's really seen yet... I mean, we have internally, but no one externally has really seen what the look and feel will be like on the new consoles. So I'll reserve judgement other than to say that I think people are going to be pretty excited. "
