Shenmue 2 would have done so much better on the Gamecube.

Or the Dreamcast*..

*wasn't released on the DC in NA due to MS (XBOX) exclusivity deal.

It wasn't released on the DC in the US because the DC was discontinued. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Xbox. The DC died before the Xbox was even annouced.

As the numbers show, Sega's titles did the best on the GC. Shenmue would have done way better on it. It would have had far less competition and more gamers who were into games that weren't the same old dry copy and pastes that have become a standard of the industry today.

The Xbox1, 360 and PS3 are all all about Military Shooters and Medieval/Ancient sword fights. Shenmue never had a chance on the Xbox.

It was released on the Dreamcast in Japan and Europe in late 2001, even after the DC was discontinued earlier in the year (though not in a ENG dub).

But I don't disagree that the game would have done well on the GC, and that a port would've easy money for Sega*.  Just that it could've also been the Dreamcast's Swan song in the U.S. too.

*the Gamecube had the right tool-set to easily port DC games.
