Shenmue Success

[Jigen]

I think it's pretty safe to assume at this point Shenmue 1 and 2 was a success for Sega, do you think this at all influenced the Streets of Rage 4 announcement?

I think it could have played a part into bringing back Streets of Rage, but considering now that Shenmue is back by long and popular demand and on multi platforms, its success is now bigger than ever. While it took 20 years, I'm glad we as a community kept it alive and continued to support it. Thankfully, that support may have extended to other long overdue classics.

No. It's been a week since Shenmue came out, and the content they've shown for SoR4 obviously took longer than that to make.
Also I'm pretty sure this all could have gone in the Streets of Rage topic.
