Nikon responds- "rapid deterioration in the market occurred and fiercer competition"

There are no continued new sales of D3, D3s or D700.  Those cameras are all discontinued. One can only buy them used or perhaps find something that's been hidden in inventory somewhere.

Do you not think it's odd at all that a market segment that Nikon served amazingly well with both the D300 and D700 (affordable and high quality action in FX and DX) is better served by buying an older used camera than buying a new camera?  Do you think that helps Nikon sales?
