While it might be true that there is some potential for another movie, I think The Godfather: Part III is a fine film to end the saga, specially considering that the original author of the novel (who worked on the screenplay himself along with the director) has passed away, so... let's just say it wouldn't be the same without him.
I recall that the talks about the possibility of the 4th film of the corleone family was around 2003-2005(sometime after Marlin Brando's death). Coppola didn't have any idea where it could've gone if they even decided to went with the idea with the 4th film of the Godfather film. They actually made a book based off of the purposed idea of a said sequel(which would've taken place in the 1930s). A lawsuit went on for awhile between the Puzo estate and Paramount, which had paramount trying to adapt the book while the puzo estate was against it. Paramount won the case, but as of now. It seems paramount decided to let the idea of a new godfather film 'sleep with de fishes' so to speak.
