Yes, Takumi did say it.

"It's a hard question to answer. For me, Ace Attorney ended with the fourth game. I think everything I wanted to do and everything that should have been done in the series was done with the last installment. With Ghost Trick, I've had the chance to speak directly with the series' fans, at E3, in Japan, outside of Japan... even now [at iDÉAME] I'm listening to a lot of people telling me they want a fifth game. Direct contact with fans is making me stop and think... I really felt that I had ended the series, and I'm loving what I'm doing now with Ghost Trick, and I want to go this way. So, I'm debating myself between do options: what should I do? Because I want to go on with this, I don't want to go back, but people want it, meaning that doing it could be a good thing... this is a moment when I can't say 'I'm going to do a fifth game' nor 'I'm not going to do it'."

Admittedly, the ending to Apollo Justice means that any future games will be radically different than the rest of the series.  Still, that may not necessarily be a bad thing (note:  I love the Ace Attorney series, but I don't want it to get stale).

I agree with you. If they do go back to the main series, I wonder if they'll continue on from Apollo, or backtrack? It would probably be very difficult to attempt the former, which probably explains why Takumi saw AJ as the finale and the spinoffs are all prequels, but I think that it should be a direction that they explore.
