I think what Mr. Gray is trying to say by commenting on sales is that, if this game sells poorly then the overall experience might be lacking. I agree with your point about the "very small group", however I think this is just poor wording on Ryan's part.
As for not hearing much about the game, this is an Atlus RPG. Atlus doesn't always, if ever, cater to a large audience and they don't have a massive marketing campaign. I can see why Ryan might not have heard anything about this.
Please, constructive criticism is all well and good but when you're telling a good writer like Ryan Gray to quit reviewing videogames, you're bordering on plain idiocy. To be honest, your 'critiquing' of his work just sounded like pure jealousy towards the end.
Thankyou
