Is Capcom planning on a Megaman X9

As of late 2008 Capcom has not announced any plans for MegaMan X9, however MegaMan 9 was released on all 3 next generation consoles at varying dates ranging from late September to early October 2008 as a downloadable title. The game was designed to mimic the classic Megaman titles found on the NES and Gameboy, with 8 bit style retro graphics and sound, and if there is a possibility of a new Megaman X game it could very well head in the same direction, being made to mimic the SNES series, or more likely the PSX games which marked the height of the Megaman X Saga. However, Keiji Inafune has been quoted in an interview stating that sales of Megaman X8 and the remake of Megaman X on the PSP, Maverick Hunter X, were met with poor sales in Japan and as a result they may not produce another game. That said, Megaman X8 and Maverick Hunter X still did reasonably well in other countries and with a little faith on Capcoms part could see production by a third party source overseas where the game still holds an audience as some other Japanese companies have done, such as Konami with the recent Silent Hill titles. Another thing to think about is the fact that Capcom has a long standing history of resurrecting old series years down the road, as seen numerous times with the Street Fighter series and even recently with Megaman 9, by introducing new and interesting features and style, or even by bringing back or rebalancing the old ones.
