You guys are probably right, but I would also not completely rule out any surprise from a new publisher that sees his time to enter this genre come now.

Also Sonalysts have been doing well recently, and might be up to "outsource" some of their training software for the navy again as a greatly simplified game. Maybe they'll finally work on a new sequel for 1950+ naval warfare.

My opinion is that if we were given simulations at a lower release rate (in contrast to Ubis new strategy), but each time with substantial new features and improvements as wished by the community, and great modding capabilities, then these games would have a long lifetime and may over a few years generate their 150k sales. And with good games like SHIII, especially once it was supermodded, I can wait for another 3-5 years for the sequel.
