And here's my last comment:

Agreed about some degree of hype (among the old-school adventure gamers group), agreed about the somewhat luke-warm reviews. But there's way too little data to talk about disappointing sales. In fact for now Gray Matter seems to have been as successful as a western point&click adventure game can be in the current market.

If there won't be any sequels in the next few years and the publisher will opt to invest in other adventure games instead - that would be a good proof the sales were disappointing. For now it's all speculation and stretching the available information to fit personal theories.
