You know, people are banding around the figure of 1.5 million units sold as if this is some grand number but that is across the whole SH library, that's only 375,000 units per title (given equal sales). Not great for a PC game. The budget given to the Devs by Ubisoft will reflect these sales figures.

I can pretty much assure you that SH5 will not have an adequate budget allowance to cater for accurate and believable voice actors. Voice acting is too much of a financial drain, especially when you are trying to code an accurate sim. Indeed the most accurate and believable voices for any Sim are community created.
