I think it's highly unlikely we see Shenmue 3 in the top 20 for NPD, it would be a nice surprise. We probably won't get a clearer picture of what sales are like for a few months. Sites like game stats can be very unreliable for an accurate picture of sales- it is highly unlikely that sales are...

Dengenki online had it at those numbers.

It would be in 3-4k range I would imagine.

I would assume an 80% drop for wk 2 . Putting physical sales overall in Japan at around 20k combined for the first two weeks.

they would probably be like any other publisher- regular checkins and milestones to ensure everything is on track. It can be very useful as marketing can be involved earlier in the process.

Interestingly, I have work colleagues who used to work at 4AGames (Metro series), and they don't have a lot of positive things to say about Deep Silver as a publisher. The Epic deal for that game was done behind the studios back and the developer didn't see a penny from it- and it pissed off the...

you'd like to think so, publishers can be fairly short-sighted at times though. Fingers crossed that Deep Silver or another publisher step up to the plate and help fund Shenmue IV

Looking at Amazon.ca, it's currently 39th best seller in PS4 games and it looks like the Black Friday discount has kicked in. Seems to be out of stock on EBGames.ca.

what figures? I was going to estimate it might do 200k max in lifetime sales.

The Guardian gave it a 4/5 https://www.theguardian.com/games/2019/nov/29/shenmue-iii-review-pc-ps4-deep-silver

+1 for this. China isn't going to do much for Shenmue 3 sales. The Chinese market as a whole is mainly focused on PC games, and for the most part browser or F2P titles.

For Control, via 505 games we have a figure for Epic exclusivity: https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-paid-dollar1045-million-for-controls-exclusivity/
