Rob Pardo, Blizzard Vice-president of Game Design, thinks Starcraft: Ghost could return at some point.  The developers are simply too busy on different projects.  Starcraft II among them.  Fans know there are still two unannounced projects: a Diablo-related game and a new Wow expansion.  Could this mean that Starcraft: Ghost could get a second shot on the Next-Gen Consoles after the unaanounced games are launched?  I certainly hope so.
