EA Expecting 'Multiple Millions' of Gamers for SWTOR

Frank Gibeau, President of EA Games, is ever so slightly more than bullish when it comes to the chances of Star Wars: The Old Republic doing well this year.

Speaking at an investor call yesterday, he explained that:

"Yes. I think we're in pretty good shape to do that. We've got a very aggressive plan to be able to scale multiple millions of users coming into the Star Wars franchise and service this fall.

"We're looking at pre-order campaigns and telemetry coming in from retail as well as online to get a sense of the overall base, and it's very strong. We're pretty relaxed about what we're going to be able to achieve there. We'll be able to scale up and light up new servers on a fairly quick base. And we've got a plan to do that over the months following ship, and we have a lot of capacity built into that."

He's also managed to change the meaning of the word 'telemetry' as well, which is nice.
