Shenmue was a flop in the west most of all.
Well from what i have heard budget was 47 million $ but that was for shenmue 1 and 2 plus the unreleased saturn version aswell

I remember when Shenmue 2 hit and the DCs goose was well cooked by that point so it was never going to sell in great numbers. It's certainly a game with a limited sized audience though so they'd be best not to get carried away
But anyway its just not true to make out Shenmue cost SEGA : if that was the case SEGA would have gone bust in 2001 not 2004, never mind SEGA AM#2 being able to make such games as OutRun II, VF IV, VF IV Evo, VF Quest , VC III and a host of other games after Shenmue II , never mind that Shenmue development budget was already paid for with the $250 million DC game production set aside for DC games development by SEGA Japan .
SEGA's debt mountain of low marketshare and making a Huge loss for every DC sold it what cost it and the HUGE even of SEGA lossing its chairmain in 2001 with the sad death of the late great Isao Okawa. After that CSK was destrate to sell SEGA at any cost .
