It's highly probable the age of the fanbase plays a role in whether or not a 3rd TV series will be produced.

Does anyone else think that Bandai might have blamed a "maturing" fanbase for GSD's poor ratings? CE still sells, but in a different way, ie merchandise, mega DVD sales etc. It you look at DVD sales, you can see people are still interested, but don't watch it in its original run. Perhaps Bandai just doesn't think that a tv series is the best way to milk the CE cash cow and want to try other mediums, ovas, movies, etc.
