My 17 year old cousin bought a copy last weekend. She played it on my Dreamcast for a couple of hours a few years ago and enjoyed it. She’s trying to get one of her friends to buy a copy.
So if it is due to being out of stock it's another balls up on Sega's part for this release.

Just a heads up everyone but NPD will be releasing US sales data on September 18, which is tomorrow, so we'll very shortly find out how Shenmue did in the US. They traditionally release their data around 11pm BST which is about 24 hours from the time of this post. Given Shenmue hit number 2 in the UK we should expect something similar in the US. Hopefully.
We find out tomorrow. Hopefully Shenmue has charted and charted quite highly.
I would like to reiterate my earlier post that NPD ranks based on revenue, not units sold. That could skew the rankings down for Shenmue considering it ships at half the price of most other games that will appear on the list.
The Dreamcast was a non-entity in the UK, absolutely obliterated by the PS2
Is there any way to tell how many 'copies' Steam has sold?
According to SteamSpy, there's 20k or less owners of the game. They're not as accurate as they used to be since Steam blocked the method they previously used to gather data. That being said, it still provides a close enough approximation of sales numbers.

SteamSpy is massively inaccurate.How would that be the case as it was in the top selling games for ages.
