I won't say Gumi is perfect either, but even though Miku isn't getting the most no.1 hits anymore, she still gets the most uplods and a lot of producers still use her. The thing with the Appends was a lot of producers felt that they no longer sounded like Miku herself and a lot of the producers that bought it didn't even use it since the original Miku was what they were after. I'm not saying that Miku can do a repeat no.2 and sell buckets like before, but a lot of the overseas fandom in particular who are held as "the weaboo side fandom" account for most of the Vocaloid fans... A lot of people around VO I remember felt tht the moment her english version is released a lot will snap it up to produce just about any old crap... Plus with their biased opinions, she'll be "better then all ther english vocaloids", and you've seen someone recently rate her as the best unready recently. :-/

However, the lack of a v3 version has indeed allowed a lot of other studios to make grounds and Miku I doubt will be able to make that result a second time. However, if its true that v3 Miku will be outfor free to anyone who has v2 versions, there are 60,000+ copies of her in the hands of producers world wide... Thats the record for any vocaloid and no ne has announced having beaten it yet. CFM isn't making nearly as much money on her product as her merchandise by now, that much is proof in the pudding because they keep making more stuff. Between Karen-T, Piapro and this merchandise, they can have Miku be a flop sales wise for the V3 version and still milk her.

All I'm really trying to get at is, once that V3 version is out who knows whats going to happen and we're lucky some vocaloids managed to gain ground in the meantime, giving the vocaloid software room to expand. But... Bugs or not, it never stopped Miku selling in the first place... That much is certain, plus, the standard of V3 is going to be higher then any of her v2 types... Who knows... I'm scared of the impact on my favourite Vocaloids, since English Miku will tread where they've been struggling to sell already... Who wouldn't be scared, this fandom has a lot of idiots in it. :-/
