I think Bond has run his course. When he first arrived on the scene, both in literature and film, he was a standout blazing new ground. Now, the spy theme and cool gadgetry can be found in many a summer blockbuster. Bond was also always about the coolness of the actors portraying them, and Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and even Pierce Brosnan all had that suave, smug sureness about themselves which Daniel Craig just didn't convey as well.
