    Nope.   Innovative games like this seem to never be big sellers.  And in the end, that's what killed this series.   Critically acclaimed but most people just didn't get it.
     
    Sega really should put a HD Remix version of the first 2 Shenmue's out... or make the 3rd with an episodic type deal like the Sam & Max / Penny Arcade stuff to minimize the risk in case it tanks again.
     
    I have a feeling that Shenmue will make a next-gen return at some point.
