Shenmue III Sales off to a Slow Start in Multiple Regions Including Japan



Ys Net?s highly-anticipated Shenmue III received a lukewarm reception both critically and commercially in multiple regions. What?s particularly worrisome is the game?s lackluster launch performance in its home market of Japan, where it sold less than 18,000 copies on the PlayStation 4 in the week ending November 24th.
For comparison purposes, Japanese releases like Nintendo-exclusive Astral Chain and Bandai Namco?s Code Vein sold 32,236 copies and 60,843 copies, respectively, during their launch weeks.
