I don't know. To my eyes, Shenmue was holding its own quite well against anything the PS2 came up with in the early years of its life. I remember thinking MGS2 and FFX were among the first games that really clearly outclassed it.

I would say that even Yakuza 1 outclassed Shenmue and that was from basically the same company and not that much later than they first getting to develop on PS2.

And boy how bad of a game Shenmue is when you play Yakuza before, it is just undescribible.

Yakuza 1 came out in December 2005. Long after Shenmue, Metal Gear Solid 2 or Final Fantasy X.

And it wasn't that big of a leap over Shenmue.
