I doubt the whole Sony thing and what was reported has done much at all to this Kickstarter. If people don't think it's going to hit whatever they think it needs to then maybe they should opt for the higher backer tiers, as I imagine anyone who cared enough to back the kickstarter has. I think it's worth remembering why Shenmue 3 needs to be kickstarted in the first place.
This whole thing has made Shenmue fans look really bad and maybe a little crazy
Shenmue 3
I think Gonic makes a good point; the first two days went well, as the usual fare in getting that push. It dies during the middle before getting a little spike again in the final few days.
With that said, I'll just say it and say 10 million won't be achieved. I don't see it. Even if Suzuki is taking PayPal at the end of this.

It's been successful, no doubt, but Suzuki really botched the Kickstarter with crappy tier prizes, sparse details, and late coming news. Revealing via the Reddit IAmA early that this would not be wrap up the story was a mistake, too. Coming in late with the "we need $10 million to make it everything we want it to be" was a mistake, too. Shenmue III will be released, but I question if fans will get to see a Shenmue 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 after this one. Frankly, I don't think the series has enough fans to sustain it to the end, and I think the game is in for a rude awakening from the press and newcomers when it does come out.
If you actually look back on previous interviews with Suzuki over the years, he's stated on more than one occasion that the series would've needed 4 games at least to finish the story, so the fact that he's saying it now isn't actually a new thing.Mr. Domino wrote:Revealing via the Reddit IAmA early that this would not be wrap up the story was a mistake, too.
