The only reaosn people are saying things like that is because:
A) It's made in Darkbasic, and the fact that a DB game could sell that many units is surprising.
B) It's a fighting game, and the fact that a fighting game could sell that many units is surprising.
C) As far as fighting games go, it looks only average, which again makes it susprising it would sell that many units.
D) That fact that it sold 30,000 units period is surprising.
I mean, if you sell $30K worth of units, then you're pretty lucky. 30K UNITS, is way more than $30K. If they're selling it for $20 a pop like most online games, that's $600,000!
Given that it sold $600,000 worth of copies, I think it's fair game to pick it apart just as we would any commercial title, because it's playing on that ballfield if it's sold that many copies.
Oh, and for the record, I didn't see anything in the gameplay movies that Blitz could not do better. So get to work! :-)
