Game Director Mark Simmons commented on the possibility. "Absolutely. We've always loved working on the series. Since Origins we've spent a lot of time with the series. For us we feel we've put our stamp on the series with Shattered Memories so we'd love the opportunity to do another one. So everybody go and buy it!" said director Mark Simmons. Lead Designer Sam Barlow followed up with, "I think this is the first Silent Hill since one or two where people are saying it has its own identity and people are responding to it really well so it would be great to take that further."
Elsewhere in the interview, when asked about the sales of third party Wii games, Barlow was hopeful for his game's success on Wii, while remarking that perhaps it's not a problem with the Wii userbase, but rather the games they have been asked to purchase for the console.
"Without badmouthing people, a lot of the games they've been complaining about are rail shooters and a rail shooter wouldn't have sold no matter what platform you put it on because it's a rail shooter and that's a niche genre that had its heyday back in the Dreamcast era." He added later, "To be honest making a game that sells on any platform is hard and there are countless examples of great games on huge budgets that haven't sold and games that have been runaway hits that no one saw coming and I think making a sweeping statement about the Wii is maybe a bit of a cop out."

Plus with the cheaper price they may move more units which only helps our cause of getting a sequel.

I doubt it, the cheaper price didn't do much for Castlevania Judgment either.
But Castlevania Judgement was...mediocre at best, right? It didn't have positive buzz flying around a month after launch like Shattered Memories does.
