{Carlo}Hello Andrew! Welcome to the Xbox North America Presales Support! My name is Carlo.
{Andrew_}hey
{Carlo}I'm glad to assist you with your inquiry on the developer of Shemue III.
{Andrew_}microsoft has already told me who is publishing shenmue 3 but who is developing it
{Carlo}Please wait while I look for the information about your issue.
{Andrew_}ok
{Andrew_}thanks
{Andrew_}have you found the information???
{Carlo}Thank you for waiting! After further investigation on your inquiry, it is confirmed that Shenmue III is developed by Sega-AM2.
{Andrew_}wait one more question
{Andrew_}it is being developed now?????
{Andrew_}or was it already developed or not started being developed?
{Carlo}We do not have specific information about that. I suggest that you contact Sega-AM2 for further information on the development of this game.
{Andrew_}wait 1 more ?
{Andrew_}since microsoft owns the rights to shenmue 3 and since it was confirmed shenmue 3 is in development by sega/am2 am i right to say shenmue 3 will appear on the xbox or possibly the xbox next?
{Carlo}It is not confirmed that Shenmue III will be published by Microsoft. Sega-AM2 has the decision if they will develop the game for Xbox. I still suggest you contact Sega-AM2 for complete details.
{Andrew_}well it is a fact that the rights to shenmue are owned by microsoft
{Andrew_}it really cannot be developed for any other console except for the xbox
{Andrew_}or is there something im missing????
{Andrew_}can you please give me any information?
sega/am2 will not communicate with me
{Andrew_}they ignor my emails
{Andrew_}xbox is my only source
{Andrew_}any information about microsoft owning the rights to shenmue and the development of the game would be helpful
{Carlo}I suggest that you contact Sega-AM2 through phone for better assistance.
{Andrew_}they are located in japan
{Andrew_}there is honestly nothing else u can say about shenmue 3????
{Andrew_}u can't say expect future titles of shenmue to appear on microsoft consoles???
{Carlo}We can't provide you information on that as of this moment. We suggest that you also check our site for updates on the latest games available for Xbox.
{Andrew_}ok thank you very much for all of your help
{Andrew_}bye
The part that is of real interest is that he said its confirmed shenmue 3 is being developed by sega/am2
this is possible that digital rex and am2 are developing it 2gether and at least we got some information whether it be true or not from microsoft.
