Heh, I'd think that the same applies to us (for the anime anyway... I don't think there are that many who've played the game). Most of the fansub-viewing public probably dismissed this as ecchi trash, and of the few who do like it (or at least enjoy it a bit) probably treat this more as mindless entertainment than anything else. Certainly nothing special other than how the far the staff was willing to go for those three idiots in the anime (as for the game, I actually haven't played it, but from what I've heard, it doesn't seem too special in the world of erogames either)

I am surprised though, that a game with the description like you said could be made into an OVA and a TV series, and into spinoffs from that TV series... From what I saw in different anime magazine polls it doesn't seem popular enough to be able to generate a franchise like this one has either.
