This is something I think all of you should read. This is an interview with the creator Steve Wang. He talks about the show and what he plans to do in the future.

The production costs also played a huge role in PR's cancellations. Toy Sales going down are diffinitly a big part of it though. You're right the toy sales are extremely important
I agree that the toy sales are going to make or break Kamen Rider's chances of a new season. If things fail, it still wouldn't surprise me to see Kamen Rider make another comeback someday.
I think any new incarnation will probably start with a clean slate. Dragon Knight was shot a few years ago and the actors have probably moved on. Also its unclear how much they will leave open for a sequel.
That was a good interview. Of course it was done in Feb. So it was very early in Dragon Knight's run.
