He's talking about general sales, not enthusiast sales.
The fact this car has a roof, and two (tiny) seats in the back, and can hold more cargo means MORE will sell than the S2K (split between Toyota and Subaru), which means 10-15 years down the line it'll be much easier to find parts for your FR-S in a pick yard. More sales means more shops will find inexpensive ways to make them faster, since there will be a relatively larger market.
I'll say the only reason I don't own an S2K right now is because I have no long-term love for roadsters. Bottom line. They're nice every now and then, but I can't enjoy a roadster as much as a coupe. Personal opinion.
