will there come a point where the difficulty becomes to high for cpu miners?

No

Elaborate please why that is. One shouldn't accept an absolute answer without explanation. I'm for LTC succeeding but will not accept what people say blindly.

Thanks! Grin

If the LTC difficulty rises to 12 billion, many people might say that is too high! Others might say it is too far!
But if LTC are worth $12 Billion each...is the difficulty too far or too high?

Keep in mind the question was not asked in terms of price but in terms of difficulty and feasibility for CPU miners to attain any LTC for their efforts.

If LTC have no price, then all difficulties are too far and too high. The only thing that determines whether or not you should mine anything is the price of electricity used vs the price of the coin mined. If BTC were $12 billion each, and difficulty was 1, then I would be mining them with my CPUs as well as my GPUs(regardless of how much better it might be if each CPU was a GPU).
