V2 tech, its expected, unless their is a update he'll likely remain like this. He was never that popular as a product to begin with. At the V2 point of time the males were in low demand in Japan (still are pretty much).

In addition, later engine releases don't tend to fair so well, he was one of the last products of V2. The same thing happened in V3 with the back-end products of V3, they didn't get so much focus as the newer V4 ones. Its better to be released around the first year then the last. :-/

Then there is the clash with a CFM release, which tends to impact any Vocaloid both in Japan and out of it... But this tends to have a impact on CFM vocaloids too when one of them gets updated. Especially *shudders* Miku. Her updates dwarf all others in terms of sales. See last years 19.7% raise in Vocaloid sales being contributed to Miku V3 alone. Never less, Piko had the misfortune of being released with the Kagamine Append release, so focus was on them. >_<
