I was about to type a similar point. Everyone raves about Sega's IP nowadays, but outside of Sonic, they sold like crap. Jet Grind/Set Radio and Shenmue are the quintessential must-have hipster games now, but they sold like crap back in the day, along with Virtual On, Chu Chu Rocket, Skies of Arcadia and a bunch of others I can't think of at the moment.
I see people online all the time begging for a Shenmue 3 or JSR sequel (and I wouldn't mind the latter + a new Virtual On), but I can guarantee you funding those projects would be the equivalent of shoveling a pile of money into a burning furnace.

Sega games "sold like crap"? Define that and humor me.

OK, fine. In this instance, "sold like crap" means "didn't sell enough units to recoup development costs, warrant a sequel, or push hardware." Shenmue sold 1.18 million units, an amount normally worthy of celebration back in 2000.

Really? Then why did Streets of Rage, Virtua Fighter, and Yakuza all have sequels? Daytona USA? Crazy Taxi? Virtua Tennis? I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

I said I wasn't done and I would return to finish my post. Perhaps I didn't make it big and shiny enough for you to notice.
IF YOU HAD WAITED FOR ME TO LET ME GO BACK AND FINISH BEFORE "PROVING" YOU POINT,

For that long essay, you still didn't disprove what I said. ;)

You're right. Can't disprove something that was never really there.
