For studios that cannot afford to update, new vocals become essential.

For studios that can afford to update, it becomes essential since this means they can maintain the characters popularity.

If anything, it will improve her sales as Luka will sound better on V4 then on V3. It will give people the excuse to buy V4. If V4 is the same as V3, you will only need to buy V4 once. To top it off, she will likely come with Piapro studio, which no doubt will be updated for V4. Piapro studio allows use of the vocal without have to buy the Vocaloid engine.

I find the reluctance against Luka V4 kinda odd. If they released her for V3, this would hold Yamaha back, preventing sales of the V4 engine. And if things go like they did with V3 and how it impacted V2, no new V3 vocal will be allowed to be released once V4 hits sale. So if Luka is now not updated to V4, you will not get Luka at all. You really want Luka not to be sold at all???

Also, bare in mind it is Yamaha, not Crypton Future Media, in control of the Vocaloid software. CFM may have the most popular Vocaloids, but Yamaha still could cut the company off any time they want. If they do not have the power to control their own software, companies could take liberties with Yamaha and Yamaha would then have the Vocaloid franchise collapse. CFM themselves promote "Hatsune Miku" as her own franchise because they have control of their own characters, but not over "vocaloid", and using the name of "Vocaloid" means buying more rights from Yamaha then they would just with "Hatsune Miku" alone.

I can understand people are upset, but... Honestly... I don't understand why they would not want a better version of Luka in the first place. They not care enough about their special snowflake that they wouldn't want the best version of her??? :-/
