It really did outperform what just about anybody thought it would do.
What i'm confused about though is the whole "opening up a new genre" thing.
How is this game different from Indigo Prophecy for example?
If it means the proliferation of this kind of game... I don't think so. You need to be a really special studio to be able to pull this kind of game off I think.
To my knowledge... this genre already existed... it was generally just done very poorly. To ask if this genre is ready to move into the mainstream in a real way I think is a better question.
