They weren't good enough. That's why they failed.
It's as simple as that.
They were completely responsible for all their failures.(And unfortunately they had far more bad decisions than good ones in that era.)
It was also the bad decisions of Sega that lead to Shenmue 1 going overbudget and endangering the future of that franchise.Since Sega forced the developers to scrap that game 2 times.(Sega even forced theto make it for that upgraded version of Saturn which got cancelled.)
