Well, my first thought is it depends on their definition of massive, hard to tell without knowing how they're quantifying this. Additionally, engines can be optimized further and further for years...it's why GTA IV was a bare bones GTA game (new engine), and RDR and GTAV were much more complex/diverse etc... I'm not saying that the ICE team has unlocked the programming holy grail, not even the slightest. But, to say there's only so much engine optimization that can be done....6 months into a consoles life cycle is forgetting how games and code improve over the years.
Stil, take it with a grain of salt until they're willing to elaborate on the 'Massive' claim.
