If SEGA were smart and seeing how the HD remakes are already flying out of the shelves before they even get on the dam shelves... They would help out with man power.
I have had similar thoughts, but Sega making an appearance in the middle of development probably isnt a good idea, nor efficient and would cause further delays while the organization gets sorted, plus Sega probably still wants to see how well Shenmue III actually sells, I predict if they support the future of the franchise, it will be with Shenmue IV.
Second point, the delays gives more time for new supporters to back the project (which btw tweet days and what not need to be organized around and after launch of the HD collections as soon as we have a date for them) so we can hopefully generate some new backers for Shenmue III once HD collection releases, hopefully thats the boost that Yu needs. Also it gives more time for them to make the cash needed to send out all the backer goodies which is about the only thing at this point that I see that could go wrong, they announce the backer tiers arent going to be exactly what they initially thought and they down grade them significantly.
