everyone is screaming at Sega to release Shenmue 3,
yet sales are embarrassing. How can that be?
Because it's not "everyone" who's screaming, just the scant Shenmue fans. They happen to be loud.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Shenmue is great game and it would be nice if there was a next gen version but I can't see it happening. The hardcore Shenmue fans alone wouldn't justify the costs in adding another chapter to the Shenmue series, especially after the first two from a financial standpoint were failures. As hardcore gamers, yes we appreciate games as art and want to have new interactive experiences but at the end of the day video games are business. And if the first two games in a series haven't generated much in sales, chances are a third wouldn't either which is why I don't see Shenmue III ever happening.
lets turn this into a fun topic,
what happens if on October 10, 2010
Sega announces the NEW Dreamcast 2 , with 3D super duper HD pixar graphics specs, 500 GB storage, and free online, and Shenmue 3 is a launch game, to be released 2010 holiday season

they can release $70 shenmue, then 10 downloadable content each for $15 . THen you can buy stuff online for $5 , then they can make an online subscription based gaming for $15 .
I bet they would get that $70 million back.
