Yakuza games have been successful, but Shenmue sold way more than Yakuza and was a downright bomb. Unless they can find a way to make the game at a way lower budget then they have in the past then it should not be made. Shenmue has been the type of game that requires a big budget though, and i don't think moving from dreamcast to PS3 is gonna help much. This game isn't really much a system seller at all, i don't see any reason why Sony would want to lose money by funding a game that isnt' gonna sell that well. They have made their stance on 3rd party exclusives clear, they want to own the IP if they are gonna dish out the money for it.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
