what is the reality of mFT sales?

. . . Mirrorless was always just a more refined and sophisticated implementation of technology that already existed with P&S's. The global shutter will be the true game changer that finally puts the old SLR mirror/shutter mechanism out of business. When the DSLR is finally dead, m4/3 will still be the best combination of compactness both in bodies and lenses combined with 'good enough' image quality IMO for those enthusiasts who are serious about their hobby but don't want to spend thousands on a bag of equipment that is difficult to carry around very often or for very long.
