Or, many of the people who would see this in a store and be excited might even be aware of the problems until they bring the game home and it bites them in the rear.

Describing an almost complete inability to play the game as "Internet outrage" seems rather glib.

The ability to play is the problem causing the outrage, it is not the outrage itself. It doesn't matter how justified the outrage is if people keep buying it, which they are.

Don't see how glib it is to point out the truth: internet outrage isn't translating to poor sales.
