Does it usually take this long to find out ?Still no official word.
There’s every chance we’ll never find out. Iirc, Sega never posted figures for 1/2HD. Generally, I only ever see devs/publishers revealing sales figures if they’ve hit a big milestone (500k, 1m, etc) in a short time span. I think 500k is about as good as S3 can hope for in lifetime sales and it will probably take a year to get there. With that in mind, posting sales figures would likely only lead to negative press (sales right now are probably somewhere between 100k and 200k which most would see as a failure).Does it usually take this long to find out ?

Reviews were added to the EGS page. Probably won't help boost sales, unfortunately...
Gamstat is up to 53,000 users, btw.
50k total player plus the 70k kickstarter? Not too terrible within first 3 months.
On a hundred mile journey one step is progress.The GamStat number has gone up by 28,000 since @Riku Rose came in to dance on Shenmue 3's grave in December, so I guess that's progress.
Yeah, most people buy games faster than they play them and a new purchase can sit around for months before it's actually played. I still have a bunch of unplayed PS2 games sitting in my drawers. Then there are some people who haven't plugged their consoles online for whatever reason.Edit: not displaying people who purchased multiple games + backers who haven't launched the game yet (I have already 2 friends who haven't started it yet).
So, does anybody here had a reasonable assumption about the total amount of sales?
If that’s the case then that makes me very hopeful for the future!I think sales should be somewhere between 156,00 and 247,000 based on growth and initial sales reports.
