Well, both company's flagship products now boast less megapixels. But, they're both aimed at a targeted audience.
Sensor technology improves with time; the resolution monsters (which will both likely be announced on the same day, next week) will be aimed at studio/landscape photographers with magnificent high ISO performance.
I mean, look at the ISO-3200 output from a now almost four year old 5D Mark II. It's scary to think what's just around the corner.
Personally, I can't wait. Wallet is ready.
