I remember believing that a PS2 wouldn't be able to run Shenmue 2 properly, that somehow the DC was "better" on some level. Looking at the specs for both I don't see that being the case, must have come down to the coding or something idk.The dreamcast ending was inevitable but the move to the Xbox was 100% the wrong move from a commercial perspective. However I'm sure I read somewhere that getting Shenmue to work on a PS2 was much more difficult than the Xbox.
I think the real mistake in porting was not including I and II together, it was already niche enough, you can't expect people to start a direct sequel of a story based game like that.
