I was of the mind that we'd see Shenmue 1/2 re-release, or HD versions, before we ever even heard mention of Shenmue 3, and that the original games would be the barometer as to whether or not a third game would be ever developed.
Hypothetically speaking, I feel as though if the original games were already available on XBL or PSN marketplaces, that the KS campaign would have done much, much better. There are so many people who are intrigued by S3 and the hype, but they know absolutely nothing about it and have no way of experiencing the games (emulating Dreamcast games isn't exactly easy for a lot of people who aren't tech savvy, either).
