Analyst predictions only face a 50% chance of being correct or wrong. In Patchter’s defense I understand his reputation is above average in the industry and opportunity for this title has not been missed yet.
EA made the right choice to release the game when it’s complete and not half baked. The general population has been shifting more and more away from theater movie releases to home releases over the past years. Hollywood will rave how much revenue the opening weekend has brought in, but they fail to mention that this is because of inflated ticket prices when comparing with previous films.
Looking forward and should the game launch, it could arrive shortly after the DVD/Blu-ray release. This would give an opportunity to improve the image of reputation and quality associated with EA that has been damaged over the past years.

The article should also note that now Autodesk has made an agreement to acquire Softimage from Avid as of last October.
