Stock analyst Todd Mitchell for Brean Murray Carret & Co has concerns over Star Wars: The Old Republic and cut his price target Thursday on the stock to $22 from $28. In a note to clients, he writes that "creeping concerns" about The Old Republic's performance is causing him to trim his earning estimates for the 2013 fiscal year. "Specifically, initial sales appear to be below expectations, and casual observation of early play is causing us to rethink our churn assumptions."

While this is just the opinion of one analyst, could this, in fact, be the case for one of the most expensive games ever made? If numbers are "below expectations," could they have been bloated due to World of Warcrafts huge 8 year success? It might be interesting to see a report from EA just to get an idea of what analysts were expecting.
