Fixed. Snenmue II was still on the Dreamcast in Japan. Shenmue I sold over a million copies on the Dreamcast, while Shenmue II only managed around 300k on the Xbox. The franchise needs to be on a console popular in Japan to succeed. OT: Seems the speculators on gaf were right about it being a Virtual On port. |
Well bear in mind Shenmue got most of its sales in the west. According to the numbers on this site atleast.
Shenmue 1 sold 390K in Japan. Yet it sold 790K in the west.
Shenmue 2 sold 150K in Japan for the DC. It sold 310K on the Xbox.
Shenmue 2 wasn't hyped much either. The original Shenmue had a huge ad campaign. Shenmue 2 did not.
In my opinion, they should release Shenmue 1 and 2 on all three consoles. Maybe even the PSP. That would create a lot of hype for Shenmue 3 and would probably be very profitable.
