Seems more like Sega left Yu Suzuki. Man like that needs a big flourishing company for his ideas to flourish.
Yu Suzuki has left Sega

Seriously I think the Yakuza game is an attempt by Sega to see if a slightly modified version of a Shenmue game would sell.
And Yakuza is selling.
I also think Shenmue's poor Sales are attributed to 1 thing and that being that the dreamcast's install base was so low that not everyone was going to buy it. Perhaps my Dreamcast standards it was a hit but by large console standards it was not also probably the only people that bought Shenmue II on XBOX were former dreamcast owners but Like other sega games word of mouth set in and people wanted to see it again and experence what this ambitous Shenmue was.
Hence Sega Made Yakuza to see if a Shenmue style game would still sell.
That said Last weekend I went back and played Shenmue II on my 360 It hasn't aged well in the least.

The DC had a very respectable userbase at the time shenmue was released (during the DC heyday) and yet not every user got a copy.
How can you be 27 and not remember that? you where around 19 back then if my calculations arent wrong.

If by "slightly modified" you mean "completely different", then you are right. The similarities of these games stop with a "you control a character walking around".
