You should take out Red Steel. It's actually a counter-example to your point. That said, these are more like games that didn't fit their Vgchartz hype rather than gamers that didn't fit their actual hype. A lot of the Vgchartz community loves niche games, but it's not really representative of the market. Combine that with this being a sales based website, people have unrealistic expectations.
I see The Conduit doing fine. Even if it sells below the expectations of a lot of people, it will most likely make a profit. I personally don't want it to (since High Voltage is full of crap), but hey, if it's a good game I hope it does well anyways.
