Shenmue was much more successful here in the states than over in Japan. Yes, 350,000 is a good number, but not if the game costs more than 70 million dollars to make. And from what I understand, Shenmue II did even worse, but that's expected seeing how it came out when the system was all but dead.
Not that I agree, but Yu Suzuki liked the english voices enough to release the "directors cut" called Shenmue US in Japan.Quote:

Also, everybody keeps touting the $70 Million figure. That money was spent on many things, including game engine design, research and various other things. THey have undoubtedly pulled from that money a whole lot more than just Shenmue. The second shenmue didn't cost ANOTHER 70 Mil, the money was already spent, and the foundation layed. Remember, Shenmue is a series in what, like 14 chapters?
There is more to come, that number doth decieve...
Did a search on Virtua Fighter: Totaled. Turns out that AFX is a damn liar with no credibility whatsoever.

It's called a typo. :p You should know that not everyone is a perfect grammar checking machine. Although, the only reason why I bashed TracerBullet was because he was LOLOLing at my expense.Quote:

lol!
Somebody, please ban AFX!
You are both wrong. The new game will be called Virtua Fighter: FREE Berkley Sunshine HappyFace!
I deleted the original post. I'd rather stick to the high road on this one.
And thinking that you're an idiot is not a bannable offense.
No, you're the idiot. :pQuote:
