I think Mass Effect's future beyond the trilogy is not in doubt. It's been a highly successful series and I think (and hope) BioWare continues it.

My guess is for future games, they'll do what they're doing with Dragon Age II: You can import your character from DA:O/Awakenings (The Gray Warden) and while he/she is NOT the playable character, the actions that you made will impact the game world.

For future ME games, you can import a completed game file from ME3 (that has a viable future for the galaxy) and your decisions will change the game world accordingly.
