Precisely. A lot of people seem to forget that fact about Call of Duty. And simply put it (IL2) is a brand new console franchise, there are bound to be people who dont know wtf it is. This is to be expected, every game that doesnt have a huge publicity campiagn is in the same boat. The likes of EA or Activision can afford to do publicty stunts and spend oodles of cash on TV slots and paper advertising.
However these dont sell games, they just pique interest. What sells games is word of mouth, and a quality product. IL2 has the quality, and is now getting the word of mouth recognition from the 360/PS3 crowd. Add in that its not released yet in some regions and the current level projected sales are actually not to bad at all.
