Yes, what Mistery said was true – the 'future' thing is just Crypton's concept, other companies are free to design Vocaloids as they please.

There is also the fact that we have had many Vocaloid designed with a similar concept to Miku – cute, futureisitic. In fact, it's the most common route for Vocaloids. However, it hasn't guaranteed anyone's success since. Some of the most unpopular Vocaloids who recieved the greatest amount of backlash had that design concept. I think partially why it can't make waves is because it's already been done; with one very well known futuristic cute Vocaloid, others following the same idea won't have as much impact in the wider Japanese media world.
