I'm surprised it didn't break the record yet.

It doesn't look as well run as some others I've seen.  Like not much there to keep the hype going.  For example, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a very, very well run Kickstarter.  If the Shenmue 3 one had had that level of effort and planning it probably could have smashed the record.

I think the biggest thing holding the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter back is that the game is very very very early in development. If they already came a good way people would be more confident to back the project and they'd have a lot more to show to keep the hype up.

Ofcourse that would have ment spending 2-4 millions up front for development with no real indication on whether or not the huge risk doing that is worth it in any way.
