Good point about Sony in the first part, but there is still a chance - although, I'm just pointing out things I heard from other places. If I can find it, I will post the link(s) here.

And yes, I think we would all love for Sony to let Sucker Punch continue the Sly Cooper franchise, especially those disappointed in Sanzaru. But I too see it highly unlikely. Sadly, it is all about the money, and that's what Sony is clearly looking for: whatever sells better, which in turn gets them more money, will continue. To my understanding, wasn't Sly Cooper always an underrated series anyway? I do think, though, Sly 4 could have sold much better had it been adveritsed - but that would have cost money! It would have been a risk, though I don't quite see why a company like Sony didn't take it.

Lately I've heard Sly 4 sold 500,000 copies, which isn't too bad, but isn't amazing either. Sanzaru announced they aren't working on another Sly Cooper title (which, if you really wanna put the blame on someone, is attributed to Sony), and I doubt Sucker Punch is either, so... I dunno.

I'll end this by wondering if Sony would be willing to take this risk: a fifth Sly game, that they would assist in heavily marketing. I think we might have to wait a while though, at least for the movie, which is in Q1 of 2016 (I think lol). Oh well.
