The latest update about physical sales in Japan is 20,866 copies sold. Not sure about when it was checked, but this was published a few days ago by 電撃PlayStation, a Japanese magazine. These numbers reflect the sales in the first month since the release of the game (so they're at most updated at Dec 19th).

These were my wishes as i wrote in my post.
But i truely believe that those numbers are not that far from the truth.
The numbers from Japan were a bit pessimistic in my opinion and i guess at least 30/35K physical copies were sold in GB and 10/15 in France so 110K for all Europe and Russia is also not that optimistic that we can think of (approximatively 50% sales are digital so we can X2 each number for every country).
The 125K figure for all America (90% US imo) could be harder but doable and finally let's hope that the digital numbers in the Epic Game Store and We play will pay off in China (considering all the marketing effort from Ys Net and Yu Suzuki) andon a much smaller size in Korea and the rest of Asia/Oceania.
2020 is a new year let's just believe together guys !
Let's not forget that our franchise has reborn from ashes and we can see with our own eyes hundreds of players (at least 2 come on!) playing our beloved game and we all know that Shenmue 3 helped I and II HD sales.
When (yes when) Shenmue 4 will come out, the sales of 1 and 2 and 3 will rise again a bit and that's one more reason to make it happen (especially if it's a quality better budget game).
By the end of 2020 (Steam coming) we can reach 500K yes i said it here and i said it first.
I believe in this franchise and i believe in a bright future for us all.

Especially when only physical sales (which are going into the same category as CDs at this point) are reflected.
Most people bought it digital. Personally I bought it digitally on PC for the better graphics and stronger load times.

90% of the EGS library was on sale past few weeks, Shenmue III wasn't, that's likely a factor.

Hello
Since i can't remember where it was written in this post can you please tell me what percentage it might represent of the total pool of players?

Depends on the site and whether you believe Sony’s claim that there are 94 million active PSN users.
PSN Trophy Leaders has 543,712 linked accounts (0.57% of 94m), PSN Profiles has 2,053,543 linked accounts (2.2% of 94m), True Trophies has 46,361 linked accounts (0.04% of 94m) and Exophase has 63,049 linked accounts (0.06% of 94m).
The results really vary quite wildly and are clearly not accurate.
PSN Profiles: 61,273
True Trophies: 2,987,500
PSN Trophy Leaders: 435,789
Exophase: 2,251,666
I expect the variance is down to PSN Profiles having a poor sample group in terms of the number of tracked S3 players (PSN Trophy Leaders has nearly twice as many players in a sample size that’s around one quarter of the size and despite having more than thirty times as many linked accounts, PSN Profiles has tracked fewer S3 players than Exophase).
I don’t think this data could ever be used to get an exact number, but it is useful for tracking growth. Given we have a rough idea how many copies of S3 entered circulation in the first few weeks after launch, we can get a decent idea of how the game’s doing (pretty badly at this point, but not quite as badly as some are making out).

There's a lot of buzz around Shenmue 4
So what you are saying it's that if this is true, there should be 60k of PS4 SIII players with internet?
