Then a more competent marketing team can take over the campaign and get things back on track. I'm sure that after Shenmue 3 broke records on its first day respectable marketing teams would be lining up to take this job if given the opportunity.

The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter has still managed to become one of the most successful Kickstarters of all time in spite of Awesome Japan. The Sony announcement was a masterstroke, and they're lucky they got it.

- Awesome Japan has "helped" 13 kickstarters prior to this (in a span of 11 months), only 7 were successful
- Only 1 videogame kickstarter ,Soul Knights (ex Nippon Ichi staff), barely met the goal of $60k with only 246 backers
- only 1550 backers and $170k for all their campaigns combined so far
- they had no native english speaker before this kickstarter apparently. All of their previous campaigns had significant spelling and translation mistakes
how did this happen
The stream caused an unexpected boost in funding. 60K overall as I stated earlier but it has also boosted us from the usual 25K average to 44K for yesterday and 18K for today when today has only just begun. So a 60K surge that has also created momentum that is sending today's funding in to overdrive.
Regardless of your opinion on the stream it has surged the funding when the campaign previously had almost completely stalled.
EDIT: On the subject of the PS4 physical tier that's an automatic 500K there IMO. There's still hope for this campaign yet.
