It probably doesn't "need" a sequel, but I disagree that the game isn't complete (while agreeing that any explanation is probably going to detract). For example, the very last scene of the ending briefly introduces a new character. Who? Couldn't tell you! There are also a few matters that were indirectly raised by not at all addressed during the game proper. If it's who I suspect, we actually learn more about that person in XC2 than in X itself (not that we learn a whole lot...).
On the whole, X was incomplete, plot-wise. Not sure that alone warrants a sequel, although I would be pleased if we got a game that refined a lot of its mechanics: the exploration was great, and I came to appreciate the mission structure over time, even if the characters and narrative were "meh." The combat system was also good, even if there was room for improvement.
