"Consumers may not be happy with the yearly paid update cycles,"

That is one of the complain i heard most about.

"But the fierce competition between Parallels and Fusion has led the market to a mature and capable state and consumers of both products will likely be satisfied with their performance."

I think there is so much truth in it. Without bunch of consumers playing every year, there will be no incentive to make gaming performance and other improvement. This is likely the first time in history Virtualisation has catered Gaming market. And their performance are now, more then enough for most of our usage.
