Shenmue 3 may be on its way to next-gen consoles

Well there ya go. I really hope this is real, and not just some horrible rumors. I also hope they scratch the entire voice cast, or just leave in the Japanese voice overs. The whole idea of having the ENTIRE saga all at once is pretty cool, especially if they include anything that was cut from 1 and 2.

"A very odd Xbox 360 website has just appeared online, with a clock counting down, but to what!?! We have no idea what this means, only that the site is indeed made by Microsoft and in 37 days, 22 hours, 36 minutes and 39 seconds something big is going to happen for sure! If I have done the math right that would be september 27th. I have looked up the whois info about this site to see if it could be fake, but all the info is correct so the site is real and owned by Microsoft. Click here to visit the website.

Note that the tree looks like one of those Japanese bonsai trees, which could hint at something to do with Japan. The sculpture to the right of the tree looks like a rabbit, Alice in Wonderland anyone? Please post your best guesses in the comment section below so we can work this one out together!
Update 1: One of our readers have calculated that it counts down to September 27th at 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time to be exact!
Update 2: The name of the site is Origen Xbox360, so what hints could be hidden in the word Origen. The word Origen is a spanish word for Origin, which comes from the latin word Origo which means "beginning". Here is a link to the Wikipedia description of the word Origin below if anyone one wants to dig for clues. If I am not mistaking Microsoft has promised earlier to reveal some big surprise for the Japanese market this fall, so could this be it? Will the Xbox 360 be launched in Japan first? I doubt it as September 27th is way to early, as developers will need more time to complete their games.
Update 3: It apears that the word Origen also is the name of a great Christian theologians. Don't know yet if we will find any clues here but here is a link for more info about Origen.
Update 4: I have added another screenshot which shows what will appear on the site when the clock reaches 0.
Update 5: One of our readers is in fact part of the team that made the site, and he has given us some clues.
Clue one -
"i can provide you guys with some info, im on the team that designed this site, is something related with circles. thats all i can say. NG
Clue two -
"ok, what do you find when yo cut tree in half and see it by the top?(HD) another detail,youll see something different with the rabbit(HD)so check it from time to TIME(HD), the team which worked on the ourcolony website are involved on this. Clue: 2 systems, and a entire universe to explore. NG "
Update 6: Ok let's sum things up. We think it has something to do with Japan because of the bonsai tree. We can also draw connections to Alice in Wonderland because of the rabbit. Which makes the comments about the circles and "universe to explore" even more interesting when you think of the phrase " "spiraling down the rabbit hole" . And if you look at the console packaging it does indeed look like the rabbit hole. But what does it mean?
Update 7: More clues posted by the MS guy.
"We are living in a world of digital entertainment, in a world were all reality is going to be virtual and the only thing needed to create at that time would be our own imagination" -Tree RINGS reveals the years of the tree while he is also the CENTER of that virtual world. -[J].A.E* 11=fun for A,J and E* 9=fun for J not for A or E* *(important) NG"

If this is true(and Im still very much in 2 minds as to whether it is or not) I will definitly be getting a 360, because Shenmue is IMO the greatest game series ever, and Ive been waiting years for the story to finish.
Its gonna be really difficult to supress my excitement about this considering how long Ive been waiting, but Im going to have to until I get official word from Sega.

The intriguing fact is that Yu Suzuki is not behind the project is indeed confusing. He was sent to china for research on Virtua Fighter from his heart came out another project would he just let it go and then link it to its own site...
