I think your either crazy or never pay much attention to FO related news. Bethesda even said after FO 3 was released that they will make another one and wouldn't have gone to the trouble of getting the rights to the FO series if they weren't planing on it. Also in respose to the post about the time between games: Bethesda has clearly become a much larger dev since then (as evident by the releases of brink, rage, skyrim, hunted, and F:NV all within a years time and all either deved or published by them. Oblivion and FO have clearly made them enough to grow substantially,as all 4 of those releases most likely will as well, since they all look awesome!). I'd expect FO4 to be out by 2013 or 2014 (becuase FO3 came out two years after oblivion, now skyrim two-three years later. I get the impression that they are probably using that same team, doing an TES game, then a FO game, then back. Who knows, maybe with the success of NV they will get a company to dev a spin off in between every major game so it will go something like this: Skyrim, 1-2yrs, TES spin-off, 1-2 yrs FO4, FO spin-off, TES6, ect. I know this would put FO4 closer to 2015, so It might end up being a game every year instead. You also have to take into consideration that skyrim also needed longer to make a new engine and I think they had to make a new one for oblivion as well, so assuming FO4 uses the same engine, it will be less time for them to make it).
Edit: b4 someone makes an irritated post, yes I know that FO:NV is canon and thus not a spin-off, but you know what I mean
