MLB 12 has been noticably up this year on previous instalments, especially after it looked like the series was on the way down after MLB 11.

Regardless, I don't think it'll make that much difference. Sony used to run NBA + Formula One licences too, but they've been lost over time.

Someone will probably make another MLB in the future, can see EA sports investing in it.

Not a chance. They're just barely keeping up with their Madden and NCAA releases and even then, sales are way down. Tiburon can't take on another project.

Hasn't Mario baseball sold more? Nintendo can satiate your baseball fix without making you buy them every year with minimal upgrades.

Did you seriously just compare Mario baseball to MLB the Show? O_o

MLB is a Baseball sim with full franchises, minor leagues, career mode with created player working up till the majors and then trying to maintain it, etc...

Mario doesn't even compare, not to mention it sells through the Mario brand name, not because Baseball sim fans want it. That's like saying Mario Strikers could replace FIFA... I don't even think Mario Sluggers even has competitive online play or online leagues.

Might have something to do with MLB The Show (with it's "minimal upgrades") providing content well beyond anything Mario Sluggers could ever hope to offer.
