Xavier, you are probably right when you say that the fans are informed, while 'normal' gamers are not. I can't give an objective judgement, since I'm a fan myself.

I have very little knowledge about PS2 games for instance. Do you really think people who browse xbox sites don't know about stranger? (And maybe even PS2 sites, since the PS2-release-announcement and cancelling.) I don't know that many gamers, but the few I know have heard of Stranger.

I'm probably a little too optimistic (especially when you say that even OWI doesn't like the way it's being promoted) but maybe you are a little too pessimistic. There are other titles nobody hears about untill the release. And from things I read on IGN and teamxbox and other sites, people are way more enthousiastic then they were with munch.

(All this could be because there is an Oddworld fan who is a newsposter on the most important Flemish games-news site. He makes sure there are enough Oddworld news-reports)
