>2+ million confirmed sales for the PS2 version ALONE is not a "dud", especially by 2001 standards.
{{citation needed}}
We have Sato's resume saying 2 million for SH1, but note he conveniently doesn't mention SH2's sales? And we have Konami saying their overall sales of the series over the years, which works out to the mid 1.5-ish million per game.
The issue is that sales were lower. Why should Konami have faith in the team or the series after that? Why increase the budgets why not lower them?
You can criticize that it created a death spiral for the series, with less polish leading to less and less excitement for each game. But their financial decision making isn't random.
