Well, they want their most popular vocaloids to stay popular, and there is pressure for them to keep doing so since Miku's now too famous. Once their done with v3 upgrades and English versions, we'll likely see bnew stuff, but we've been hearing this since 2009. I'm not complaining though, while CFM is busy, other Vocaloids are gaining grounds, grounds which they need to grab since once CFM starts releasing they'll be fighting to keep.

While, yeah, CFM have become quite cash cow milking especially with Miku, understand that its the fault of the same vocaloid fandom that gave her popularity in the first place. With so many other Vocaloids out now, releasing a new vocaloid is much harder then upgrading old ones since they have to climb the ladder from scratch. Sure, they'll have a head start beign a CFM vocaloid, but also note they'll be competing with not only other 3rd productions, but also other CFM vocaloids.

Meanwhile, Yamaha is focused on setting up a business and expanding Vocaloid into other countries, leding a seperat ecampaigne to CFM altogether. Its not difficult to see that the issue is that CFM vocaloids are more popular then even Yamaha home-mades, when Yamaha is the one who owns the copyright licensing on Vocaloid itself. This leaves Yamaha also in a difficult position where they need to get more interest in the software, but its always "VY2 Who?" :-/
