"PLEASE YAMAHA STOP INTRODUCING GIRLS, We need some male overpopulation time now.. Please.. I beg of you.. STOP! at least make some more mature  feminine vocals? no.. k? *sobs*" 

Female vocals tend to sell better/have greater demand in the Japanese fandom than they do the west. I don't really like the "ughh another girl Vocaloid" comment that comes with a new female Vocaloid being introduced... please, stop hating on girls just for being girls when you've yet to even hear the voice. You have to understand, Japanese Vocaloid companies are thinking of what the Japanese fandom likes, the audience they are targetting, and the indisputable fact is that female vocals are typically more popular than males. Look at VY1 and VY2. VY2 is clearly the preferred voice in the western fandom, but it looks like VY1 has more popular songs than VY2 in the Hall of Legends on NND (or has VY2 gotten a song in there recently? Haven't checked in a while).

Besides, it's not as if Yamaha is the only company that produces Vocaloids, let alone the fact that VY1, VY2, and Mew are all pretty mature sounding vocals...

''"The only successful company for English vocaloid (? with decent english and hardly any accent) was actually Internet.Co with MEGPOID and I think Kokone should have ENG even if she doesn't make that much out of sale." ''

I don't think I'd be interested in kokone English since her voice really didn't leave much of an impression on me. And if Internet Co. were to even consider producing more English voicebanks, Megpoid English would have to sell well enough for them to think about Gackpo/Lily English.

''"To be honest, we need a Prima V3, with JPN + ENG now that would be making some money and Sonika V3 update would surely make money also if they fix her up and throw in some extra phonemes ditto to Prima also." ''

You have to think about it from the company's perspective and ask, "This product (Vocaloid) didn't sell well, should we spend more money updating the product? What are the chances that this unpopular product will sell better if updated?" For a Vocaloid to be updated, there a bunch of factors that need to be considered, and the company needs greater motivation and benefitial profit than fans (who don't even plan on buying the product) saying "[insert old English V1/V2] should be given a V3!!" This world is run by money, y'know.
