It’s been a very long time since Shenmue II was released for game consoles such as Dreamcast and Xbox.  Since the early 00’s fans of the series have been waiting for a sequel to Shenmue II.  However, the sales for Shenmue II for both Dreamcast and the original Xbox console was not too good which is probably why Sega decided not to make a sequel.  Despite, what the sales were for Shenmue II there were still many die hard fans of the series who wanted to see another game one way or another.  

As of right now Shenmue III is set to be released for the PS4 and Microsoft Windows.  But the question that is one everyone’s mind is whether or not Shenmue should be released for consoles such as the Xbox One or the Nintendo Switch.  If Shenmue III is released on multiple game consoles it would increase the likelihood of the title itself being more successful in terms of sales. However, the idea of Shenmue III being only for the PS4 and Microsoft Windows could possibly add more value to the game itself.
