This really isn't a Canon versus Nikon bit, but more why does the Nikon D800 which is known for better high ISO performance so crappy in the linked video above. Its a "Why" question, not a "we're better than you" post. Perhaps I wasn't so clear in my initial post.

The D800 has a modest edge in High ISO stills performance (My High ISO Comparison Thread), but the 5DM3 has 1 1/2 to 2 stop advantage in High ISO video performance, owing to its better video binning algorithm (5DM3 combines lines when downsampling to video, whereas the D800 skips/tosses lines).l

Well this would seem like it answers all questions, but the old 5DII is a line-skipper too, yet even it wipes the floor with the D800 in terms of video noise levels.
