This anime will open the door to expanding the fanbase. This can only be a positive.

I see this as a positive no matter what it is because it keeps the IP alive and may do well enough to fund a new Shenmue project.

I don't think we will hear anything about a potential Shenmue 4 until at least 2021 because S3 still needs to release on STEAM later this year.

Had to take a long break away from the Shenmue world after beating S3 back in November. I don't know if others felt the same but after beating it I was filled with sadness not knowing the future of Shenmue. I have returned and started playing the Merry Cruise DLC and I must say I am enjoying the...

How can I access the DLC? I already completed the game and on NG+ in Bailu. So now I have to get back to Naiowu just access it?

Stop believing the 50k number. Lets be realistic here. Over 20k physical units we know were sold in JUST Japan alone without even counting digital. So the rest of the world is 20k including physical + digital units? LOL

Yeah it can be interpreted in many ways. I would say no news for now

Not sure but seems like to me he is referring to himself as a fan.

Google translate "Fans of Shenmue 3 were able to get the game out. We are also the ones who can get the 4th episode out. Thank you anyway !"

Virtually impossible to be 33k on PS4. Japan alone is around 25k physical and we don't know the digital numbers + the rest of the world on PS4. Not sure it will be on NPD because they track by dollar amounts instead of units sold.

"Roughly 20 million" LOL Lets just make up shit

Too many mainstream games were on sale and even bundled games are tracked. Sea of thieves was in almost every XB bundle (shouldn't be counted imo). It's expected

I'm a lot more optimistic at the chances for a S4. Yu has showed he can make a good Shenmue with a small budget and you bet things would go way more smoothly and efficient making a S4 next time around. If publishers see path to profit with the right budget then you better believe they will fund...

Not only that but they are guaranteed at least 50-60k worth of sales from hardcore S3 backers. Potentially an expanded Shenmue base if we compare S3's numbers. They could also take the DLC route and go wild on collectors editions for extra revenue.

I see Deep Silver as the front runners of potentially funding S4. There's an incentive to continue because hypothetically as we would get closer to S4's launch then S3 sales will increase. They could even use preorder incentives that include S3 or bundles etc. In a perfect world I want Sega's...
