I think that Shenmue 3 demand is blown completely out of proportion thanks to the internet. Looking at sales of the first 2 games I can't help but think that an AAA Shenmue 3 game in this time and day would be nothing but a financial disaster.


You'd be exactly right too. People would roast a new Shenmue game alive. The spiritual return of Panzer Dragoon didn't fare so well, so I think a series like Shenmue would be laughed off in the modern age. Compared to everything that's been released since, I don't think the mechanics have aged well enough to hold anybody's attention. What was good for the Dreamcast would probably only serve to bewilder people now.
