What support do you have for the bolded? If this thread is to be believed, Episode 1 was "70% cutscenes," and it opened with a 20 minute trailer. Like Xoneogears, it sold over a million copies.
Episode 2 sold significantly less than that, and 3 sold even less. People who buy a game on name recognition or hype and are ultimately disappointed with the product are unlikely to purchase the sequel. The fact that the sequels sold less implies that people who played the original did not like it. If it truly is a story-driven game, then they must have hated the story.
