I'm all for pleasing the main fanbase but that has to be a very small demographic.
You have to
A.) Play the original on Dreamcast
B.) Be one of those who actually enjoyed it
C.) Followed up your Dreamcast purchase with an Xbox or import the sequel
D.) Not die in the past 20 years
E.) Be one of those who tried the rerelease and enjoyed it.

I personally doubt the game gets 500,000 in sales. From what I've heard, it's already getting a price cut.

A1.) Play the original on Dreamcast

A2.) Play the original two games emulated (probably the most played games on DreamCast emulators)

A3.) Play the 2018 remaster (Shenmue I & II HD) on PC (was included in a Humble Monthly Bundle)

A4.) Play the 2018 remaster (Shenmue I & II HD) on PS4 (probably on PS+ within the next 3 months)

A5.) Play the 2018 remaster (Shenmue I & II HD) on XBO (free on GamePass!)

B.) Be one of those who actually enjoyed it

Thanks to emulators, PC bundles, GamePass and probably soon PS+ the fan base should have grown a lot in the last years.

A3, A4, and A5 are covered in "E" of the original post. But we'll see if the game does well. I hope it does.
