Lower noise. When was the last time you actually printed an image from a DSLR. The humble 20D at just 8mp is capable of producing quality 16x20 inch prints, I've seen larger using some of the latest image resizing plugins available for PS.
How much more does the average Joe want. We're seduced by larger Mp but I'd take lower noise anyday. The achiles heel of the imaging chain is lenses, they are IMO, in many cases, way behind the technology, particularly at the wide end.
