I'm not convinced "Word of Mouth" is a legitimate reason to expect the game to have legs. Legs are typically a result of "replayability" and "retention". Word of Mouth can encourage sales, but without the prior two, the sales base won't grow significantly. 


Altough I mostly agree with you word of mouth worked wonders for certain games in the past, like Demon Souls, the entire Souls series was based on Demon Souls having great word of mouth publicity.
