The other thing is, its predicted that V5 is around the corner, while its not likely to be out next month, as per say, it likely will be coming next year, late this year next Christmas at the earliest.

When a Vocaloid engine up gets announced, some studios delay releases to take advantage of the fresh engine, as late engine vocaloids have a good chance of failing. If Uni is delayed until V5, then it would explain everything. She would likely receive a re-release if this is the case + the new voicebanks.

The other option is Uni did so badly its put a spanner in the works. While a album selling 100 copies is nice and all, its not the vocaloid itself. Bare in mind here SeeU didn't do well in Japan but sold better there then in Korea.

Based on tadbits of information, Korean voicebanks are one of those languages with a number of large amount of samples, which have to be checked over every combination possible. I have no idea how many combinations that means there are, just there are a lot. Only ones we know of are Japanese vocaloids who are simple as there are less then 2,000, while English is close to 9,000. It can take a year and a half to make a English vocaloid because of this so, that's the issue with a larger voicebank library database, it takes a long time to make. On the quick, it can take 2 months to toss out a Vocaloid2 voicebank of Miku's quality in terms of Japanese, while 4 months in English gets you Tonio. And bare in mind here, Miku is actually the worst quality here out of the two of them for various reasons (including Miku being a early V2 release, as early V2s were really LQ overall).
