Most of the time, whenever a studio or publisher posts sales numbers,
its because the studio / publisher knows that these numbers are awesome.
They want you to notice it. But there are still dozens and dozens and dozens of games
where you actually wont hear a single word about the sales numbers.
Of course any publisher that sold like 3-10 million copies in one month is going to announce that,
but probably 70, 80% of all the other normal releases wont post any sales numbers.
For example Sega doesnt post international Yakuza sales numbers on their Twitter or whatever.
Even companies like Square Enix dont post sales numbers for every of their games.
And for example Shenmue 3 is not a exception when it comes to the catalog of Deep Silver
because Deep Silver only reports on surprisingly good sales numbers like 2 mil. +
So even if Shenmue 3 would hit like 700.000 sales or whatever, they probably wouldnt post anything about it.
We will never know how many copies Deep Silver really sold.
Probably not enough to get them interested in funding Shenmue 4.
Exactly how Shenmue 1 & 2 probably didnt make enough to get Sega interested in funding Shenmue 3.
I fully understand everything your saying but man Shenmue 3 Kickstarter was a huge success. We raised a ton of money on our own. Retail sales were always gonna be limited due to majo8of people contributing to Kickstarter. All that data has to mean something. Shenmue 4 should be easier due to assets and resources being in place plus Yu still has Baisha assets that didn't make the cut. @Tosh something not adding up.
