Also, as alluded to in another thread, the few plays it does have will 'up' that rating.
When looking at a whole new boxset, most gamers will pick the ones they 'fancy' first, thus giving them something that already appeals to their own tastes. Unless it disappoints in some way, its almost already a point to the good before play starts by simply being in that particular gamer's tastes.
