Replacement for D300??

There is the main importaint problem what is the priority for Nikon. Maybe Nikon solves such questions:

1. How many customers will buy the new body?  A lot of them???

2. Does Canon have in the market the clearly better model, new model or model with the clearly better spec?

3. Make the new body the new market space?

4. Is the target customer for the new body the clever photographer who decides for the upgrade by the really useful attributes or is the target customer the user who wants the newest product with the best paper params?

5. Will the customer buy new lens or lenses?
