thats interesting that it apparently bombed. since when i saw it a week after release the theater was still pretty full (which never happens normally).
then again I'm not in the US

considering that was basically how it was marketed outside the US, i doubt it is doing well. Game Industry News ran a story on how it was getting stomped in Europe, Asia and Oceania(Aus and NZ)
its not processor intesive. its mempry intensive. the PS3 only has 256mbs of ram, and theirs pelenty of stories of the massive hacks required to let games remeber with it (or failing, see skyrim, and why no new boderlands 2 DLC)
the 360 isn't any better
as much as people might hate it, this guys sounds like he knows his shit. you don't do 7 years in the partner prgram for EA without making contacts and right now thats what the OR needs.

win 8.1 has 2 major issues;
1. its completly screwed the mouse DPI inputs, making games that read off the windows interpretation unplayable

and considering several "features" of win 8.1 make gaming on it hard to impossible, cynical outlooks might be the proper one
Droped the ball?
they tried to fucking smash it so that every one had to play on a console, preferably a xbox.
the day windows isn't the only mass market gaming OS, will be a good day
thats down to latency, and their was a post on neogaf that suggested they had overcome alot of that.
its going to be very intresting to see what happens in the next year with GDDR5, since it may become main stream
