+1 for bought it but haven't played it yet. Sitting sealed in a box still.
Shenmue 3 had about 80K backers for its crowdfunding campaign, so <100K for the remaster version seems about right. They probably got most of the backers and probably a few curious people, and beyond that word of the barebones port probably killed sales.
It's not accurate.
I'm sure it's higher now but just a few months ago they released a statement saying it reached 5.5M players. It really shot up that much more since then??! Idk. If true it has had to have sold over 6.5M now which is good considering it isn't heavily bundled or given away free in a subscription like game pass.
What makes you think that's impossible, though? If Yakuza 6 is only doing 186K outside of Japan, it stands to reason that a remaster of a much less popular IP might not be doing gangbusters either.
Even if we use 30% digital ratio for Japan's physical that would total 65k. I just find it REALLY hard to believe the rest of the world physical + digital is 35-40k. Maybe these are play counts without the Japanese numbers which would make a little more sense.
Don't you need to pay for it for the trophy list to show up?
Well, how did you measure that? Reloading save games or idling in main menu aren't reflected in your save game file.
