I think if it stayed on DC with the established fan base, it could have been more successful. Would it promise us Shenmue 3? Maybe not but the chances would have been higher.

Really? Still waiting, but cool story bro.
Someone sounds bitter....
I can understand where Peter is coming from though. I mean, it's pretty evident that Yu has close to zero clout left at Sega now. I also get the feeling that he's done almost everything he can do himself now (or everything he feels comfortable doing anyway), he's played all his hands, he very probably has no "secret plans" he's working on, and as Sweaty put it, it really is up to us the fans to change the situation. I don't blame Yu though, he's a good man, he should have all the industry clout of a Miyamoto, but it just didn't work out that way...SEGA is making great games and ones making them money. They have no reason to take a risk on a series that contributed heavily to their near going out of business
Everything in this sentance is contentious at the very least.

We're like a pack of hungry dogs who were getting excited from the aroma of a juicy stake in our nostrils, only to get thrown a meatless bone and start fighting amongst ourselves.
I swear, I'm actually gonna punch someone, anyone (probably myself), in the face next time I say that fecking graph posted again. It's like the staple weapon of choice for the frustrated Shenmue fan or lazy disgruntled gamer who's looking to piss off Shenmue fans.
Also can we please stop ragging on poor ol Yu for having a Ferrari. Wasn't it already proven to be a really shit Ferrari anyway

The things I like, Cars, motorcycles, clocks, wine, paintings, billiards... For some reason, video games aren't there. It's not that I don't like games, but I enjoy reality more, so I end up not having time to play games. However, I like making things. I most enjoy when I'm making something, as there are always discoveries.
