i went to xbox.com and went to a live chat with a support person at microsoft. Now this convo is not fake! it is really not. i know im new but its not. it could be however that this guy does not know what hes talking about well here it is
Welcome to Microsoft XBox Support
The XBox Chat session has been accepted

{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.

From now on all "shenmue III confirmed" threads should be placed in the junk forum.

I won't believe a single word until I see some credible sites and sega says shenmue III is in development.

All he told you was that Shenmue III would be developed by SEGA -AM2, which he presumably deduced from the fact that Shenmue 1 & 2 were made by SEGA-AM2. He wasn't able to tell you anything else, other than "You'll have to ask SEGA-AM2." He was even careful not to make any assumptions based on your statement that "Shenmue rights are owned by Microsoft". I doubt if that guy even heard of Digital Rex or knows that SEGA have been reorganised.

Shenmue rights owned by Microsoft?
Shenmue 2x yeah... but they wouldn't have signed over the whole series. They would only do that if they could get Microsoft to guarantee funding and marketing for Shen 3, which would have been announced by now if that kind of deal was made (well, that's what I reckon at least).

My chat with a Microsoft Press Support Emloyee:

Andy: Hi
MSPSE: Hello Andy
Andy: Can you tell me anything about Shenmue 3
MSPSE: Hang on
MSPSE: Its being developed by Sega-AM2
Andy: Release dates? Console?
MSPSE: Ask AM2
Andy: I cant ask AM2, I emailed them, no reply, phoned them and they just breathed heavily down the phone and hung up
MSPSE: Ask AM2 for more details
Andy: I just said I cant do that
MSPSE: ....
Andy: You don't know anything do you
MSPSE: ...
Andy: Do you even know what Shenmue is?
MSPSE: Thank you for your enquiry

-'MSPSE' Has Ended The Session

Joke by the way ;)

The XBox was selected for Shenmue 2 because it performs greater than the other consoles, chances are; if SEGA are now aware of the Shenmue fanbase from XBox owners, it'll go for the XBox again.

that's even if Shenmue is in, or ready to be put into production.

If you'll have seen the sales figures for X-Box then you won't be so sure
