^ This.

I don't see how "VOCALOID4" doesn't sound cool. They've been doing this for 10 years. VOCALOID -> VOCALOID2 -> VOCALOID3, I don't see the issue.

And Luka V3 is currently, a V3. Unless something screws over or Crypton got too slow and has to release her for V4.

Your third point: People will just have to deal. And next, nobody knows when V4 will even release. YAMAHA never even announced it officially. :|  So calm down. Last V1 was released Feb '06, first V2 was in Jun '07. Last V2 was Apr '11 and First V3 was Oct '11. Maybe it would be a while and a big gap from V3 to V4.

And not everyone is going to update to NEO. Hell, English companies didn't even know what the hell NEO even was.

4. That's how business rolls hun. VOCALOID was never a toy. VOCALOID is professional software. YAMAHA won't care if you just recently bought V3, especially if you bought it for someone like Ruby, only to get slapped in the face when they said she was for V4. That would be the fault of the purchaser for jumping the gun like that.

5.  V3 lasted for 3 years. It's time to go. This is the normal lifespan of the VOCALOID software. It's not too soon and it's not too late.
