Right.  It's one thing to hype up the release of something, but going overboard
can be severely detrimental 'cause if you don't live up to it, all the negative
comparisons to what you managed to do and what you claimed will likely overshadow
anything you did that -was- impressive. 

And that translates into lesser sales.

But, if they can match the hype, the authors of Atrophy will have a solid niche 
to rely on.
