While its not directly competing in terms of genre, Shenmue 3 could easily get lost with so many games. Red dead 2 will have all the attention.
Release Shenmue 3 next year in a quiet month so its the main focus in gaming and can have the maximum impact for sales, exposure and what not.

I already found the Red Dead Redemption 2 worries pretty weird. Sure, games like Titanfall 2 are direct competition for games like Call of Duty and that situation had Titanfall lose out. And yeah, Shenmue III is probably kinnnnd of an open world game, but eh, not really. Neither were Shenmue I and II. They're games with big areas and a lot of detail and quite some freedom, too, but not what we today understand as open world. These titles have huge budgets, one big area with as much freedom and ways to seemlessly get around as possible and tons of annoying side shit. No-one is really gonna consider Shenmue III as a third option when he has to decide between Assassin's Creed and Red Dead Redemption because he wants an action- and fun- and "coolness"-filled open world title. Like someone already said in the RDR2 discussion - Shenmue has his own niche. Either you want it or you don't, there isn't really something you could get instead..
See, now I had to talk about RDR2 and open world games, because that Mario thing you brought up is too stupid to even debate about :p
