Looks like the stuff in guts of the new pre-order website was just a goof after all.
EDIT:
And if you missed it, new footage leaked yesterday via a Walmart PS4 kiosk.

This is the reverse of the Kingdom Hearts situation, huh? There we didn't have the collection with prior games on Xbox One but Kingdom Hearts 3 did arrive. Here we got Shenmue I + II on Xbox One but III isn't coming? The fuck.
Then again it's probably one of those "we have a deal with Sony so we can only talk about an Xbox version after the game releases on PS4" situations.

So PS4 and PC fans weren't duped after all?
Can't believe someone would think console wars were the reason the Kickstarter was succesful.
That's a shame, but I don't think it means it will never hit the platform. Microsoft could always work out a deal. Our Xbox brethren should get it too.
That reminds me, I should check out my Kickstarter pledge to see if they need me to answer some question.

Would be better to just stay silent if that were the case, this is a flat out denial unfortunately.

No. Sony were a publishing and marketing partner on PS4, now just a marketing partner after Deep Silver took global publishing rights in 2017. The private investor into the game is, and always was, Shibuya Productions.
True, but you never know. As far as I'm concerned, the website wasn't enough to highlight that. BUT I also think that DS wouldn't say "it's coming" if it is planned to be announced later.
It'll still happen, eventually. They're just focusing on the PS4 and PC versions for now and trying to get them finished. Suzuki and his team are probably crunching hard right now. The last thing they need is the added work that a port would cause.

I'm keeping an open mind, but if it's really something at MS' press conference on Sunday it might have just been easier to stay silent.
That's what they did when the delay leaked.
Shouldn't get your hopes up, and even so by the time it supposedly releases, any person interested in Shenmue 3 is going to have played it already elsewhere.
It's like KH3, turns out people that didnt played the other games didnt liked KH3 and called it many things. It's the same with Shenmue 3, it's definitely a game for fans of the series.
I kickstarted the PS4 version, so I don't care either way tbh. I'm just saying, from a realistic point of view, the game probably will get ported to Xbox platforms later down the line.
Exclusivity on third party games sucks. But it's not the first time this happened: MS bought Shenmue 2's exclusivity on Xbox a long time ago for the US market.
I played Shenmue 2 on dreamcast with the Xbox version english dub added to it. Crazy work around, but i prefer the ultra wacky english VA
I really don't see how can someone can reach that conclusion from a piece of generic html code.
If they had a deal with Sony there wouldn't be a mention of the PC version as well, in fact when the Kickstarter was announced on Sony's stage Adam mentioned the PC version as well.
Such deals can be console exclusive deals, too, as in skipping all consoles but the PS4. PC is not a console. Death Stranding, for one, is coming to PC too, but hell has to freeze over before it would arrive to Microsoft or Nintendo consoles.
Nioh has a deal with Sony and they only mention the PS4 version but we know it'll come to PC too.
There is no truth to this, and of course it won't come to other consoles, it's a first party game.
I misspoke, it's just implied it might arrive, not a certainty at all at this point. Still, the original point stands: PC is a different beast when it comes to console exclusivity.
Sony had a deal with Capcom for Street Fighter V and it came out for PC. Quantic Dreams former Sony exclusives have also gone to PC and seemingly don't have Xbox ports planned.
We already have an official word from Sony about their involvement in the project.
QD games are a special situation and have nothing to do with what we are talking about though.
"There is no planned version of Shenmue III for Xbox One."
Sooo, it's coming to Xbox Scarlet, I take it. :)

Yeah I find that a huge shame as well. I'd love to play those games on Xbox. I wonder why they aren't bringing em over. Hell put them on GP as well for all I care.
It's a shame and missed opportunity. A lot of Dreamcast fans came to the Xbox platform as it was basically the "Dreamcast 2" and they got to enjoy Shenmue 2 for the investment. (As well as Panzer Dragoon, Jet Grind Radio, Phantasy Star Online, Project Gotham Racing, and many more)
It's a damn shame they're getting snubbed now.

I can assure you Yu Suzuki has 100% creative control over Shenmue 3. It was well in development before Deep Silver came aboard. What DS did do was give the game a bigger budget which is a huge plus.
