Canon has been moving rather cautiously, avoiding large expenses in manufacturing - a smart strategy in these lean times. Would they splurge on a new sensor line?....

What better "performance"?  The Sony sensor with higher pixel counts also has better dynamic range and at least equivalent high ISO performance.  The only advantage I can see would be a higher burst rate and faster write times.

If Canon wants to sell cameras in these lean times, then they need to bring out improved cameras.  The world is already full of DSLR photographers.  Without any significant reasons to upgrade, there are not going to be many sales.  In addition, compact and small sensor sized cameras continue to improve.  Fewer and fewer people are going to want to buy an outdated DSLR.
