You read way too much in what Thom wrote.

DX - APS-C offerings from Nikon aren't going away.

I don't see the D3xxx line disappearing

I don't see the D5xxx line disappearing

I don't see the D7xxx line disappearing

I see the D3xx line gone - we will get confirmation if there is going to be a D400 by the specs of the D7000 replacement when it gets announced.

That leaves 3 DX cameras for the consumer market.

How much more market share will a 4th DX camera get them and more importantly, will it be profitable to add that 4th camera?

they could fail as a company. That is Thom's stark message in his latest blog "The Wall Approaches" http://www.bythom.com/ in a nutshell. What are they thinking? DX is something like 60% of their biggest and most profitable business, the ILC market. The wags on the Nikon forums who see the future as FX and CX are smoking some pretty strong stuff: without some innovative development of the DX DSLR and lens markets, much of 60% of Nikon's ILC business is in danger of slipping away to mirrorless micro 4/3s and APS-C offerings.
