I'm afraid we might not be so ''powerful''.

If I were going to bet, I would say you are right. There are not enough sales to justify the expense of a comprehensive, historically accurate, realistic simulation. And some of us are way too anal about every detail.
My prediction: if SH5 comes out in good condition, it will sell comparable to SH3. That may allow for SH6 somewhere in the future.
If SH5 is buggy and broke, then the negative reaction will kill sales and there will be no more Silent Hunters for a long time, if ever. People don't want to buy an unfinished game, and it's hard to trust Ubisoft to support the game with patches, after all the trouble it took to get the final SH4 patch from them.
