I had the same experience when I preordered mine at Gamestop about a month ago. The guy behind the counter had never heard of it and I had to explain that it was essentially a Harvest Moon game with a new name. He was like "Oh, huh. Well, this is the first I'm hearing about this." It took a while for him to find it in the system. It was early, though, so more people might have come in to preorder after me. (Actually, I was there so that I could buy Animal Parade to play in the meantime.
)
But, yeah, the only person I know irl that plays the games is my baby cousin. She's twelve and has no idea that there's such a hardcore fandom out there. She pretty much buys animals and grows crops and doesn't pay much attention to the story-lines or bachelor/ettes, so I can't have much of a conversation with her about it other than "Oh, I have a cow like that too."
