But some Companys didn't made any Updates so far while others make at the moment only Updates and no new Vocaloids. So it depends also on the company. "will update it" not correct. A vocaloid gets updated for various reasons but none of which have been because of the popularity. If anything the popularity will ensure that the update will be worth while but if a Vocaloid is fine then there's no need for it to be updated despite it's popularity.
