Shenmue Dojo

Finally, it's possible to preorder Shenmue HD on Amazon Italy since today. And guess what? "il #1 più venduto in Giochi per PlayStation 4". I bet you understood what it means.

No, non capisco. Puoi aiutarmi?

Still hanging in the Top 50 on Amazon US and #15 in the PlayStation 4 category.

That is really interesting. I sort of skipped this thread did not know it existed. But with all the pre-orders and rankings plus no announcement of a release date yet, we probably will see more pre-orders. I know it is mainly people originally from the fan base, but think about the possibility of new fans. So everyone start spreading information about this game.

Where Shenmue is right now on Amazon America is number 24.

Sitting at #57 Amazon US post E3. At least it remains in the top 100.

Hopefully when SEGA reveals more info about the collection such as the release date then it would shoot back up to the top 10.

I think it will do better but competing against E3 stuff will be very difficult. I think it has done well enough for Sega to have a little more faith, my half baked estimates suggest this has orders of about 100,000 in the US alone.

As far as I would believe in that estimation, it seems a bit optimistic to me.
Maybe if you explain your reasoning I could be hit by your optimism wave too

I said these are half baked but, I have been using a tool that estimates sales/orders based on sales ranks for a day. The estimate I posted above was actually generous because people'd think I'm nuts if I posted what the real estimate was. I think it's possible it was performing and sometimes winning against God of War which was selling near 75k units daily at points (based of estimates).

Slowly making it's way up the Steam top sellers list. It's at about 11 now, was at 18 an hour ago.

Doing well considering it's also the Summer sale and going up against some pretty heavy discounts/popular games.

Its jumped up to #3 on PS4 on Amazon US as of 11:24 EST.

Shenmue I & II fluctuated to as high as 8th top seller on Steam yesterday, but it's back down to 25th today.

Which is still alright. It's hanging on in the first page, and we're in the midst of the Summer Sale with some very deep discounts happening.

It just moved up to #3 on Amazon, but slid back to #4 on PS4 Best Sellers.

In terms of across the entire video game category, it is holding strong at #17. That's really impressive, considering how long it was topping the charts BEFORE an actual release date was known.

On Amazon best sellers for US it is back at number 1. I just checked the page for Shenmue and see that it is at number 1 so I clicked on the ps4 best sellers list right on that page next to number 1 and it led to the list and it is currently number 1, with kingdom hearts III number 4, and dragon quest xi number 9.
