its wasnt that much money the video explains. They spent 70 million $ for the original shenmue games but it included shenmue 1, 2 and the sega saturn version which was cancelled so basicly 3 games.

It's actually 47 million according to the dude.

This. THe 70 million dollar figure was put out by SEGA in an effort to generate massive hype as in "wow this game cost 70 million, it MUST be amazing". Also Shenmue was ahead of its time wth elements of motion capturing, voice acting etc which is now standardized and costs less than it would back in 1998. However I do think it will cost a good 20-30 million for a proper Shenmue III.
