Gumi V4 needs to sell or Internet Co may have a very hard time updating their other vocaloids. 10 voicebanks is probably an extreme risk for the company due to the fact that licensing voicebanks with Yamaha is very expensive. Apparently, Internet Co is well-off financially, (Have you seen the prices on their vocaloids!?) but I hope that Gumi V4 sells well so Internet Co can continue updating their vocaloids. In terms of popularity, Gumi trumps Gackpo popularity-wise as she is female, & in general more popular. xP
