With small mirrorless cameras with APS-C sized sensors on the market now, I really don't see this breaking through very well. The compact market is addicted to pixel count anyway... Having said that, the real driver could be quality optics at a reasonable price. Right now the interchangeable lenses for smaller sensors is filled with a lot of so-so optics. This, not the sensor, is something Nikon could very well do better than most. Caveat: I still happily use 120 roll film in my Mamiya when I want top quality results so I doubt my point of view really represents their possible market.
