Pachter: Lame Games like TLG and Shenmue 3 Won't Sell Many Units

"Shenmue is the same. It’s an okay title but outside of Japan, how many millions of units will it sell? Not very many.”

Most developers in the industry would kill to have a game selling "not many millions".

Well I believe many developpers can but they just don't want to take a high risk, and sega made a high risk with shenmue that financially backfired to them.

But that's the thing, not many games can sell "many million" units (even if that means just a couple million games), no matter how hard some devs try to. It's because of that, that reading from Pachter that a game will sell that amount only to then label it as "not worth it" is so wrong.

And that's an even worse with a game like Shenmue 3, that has a Kickstarter campaign behind it.
