If you like fast glass, or use a ton of accessories like tripods and flashes, the smaller size of M43rd's bodies doesn't matter that much.

If you just want snapshots, cell phone are fine.

So, to like M4rds you must be somewhat serious about photography, but without a need for fast lenses, flashes, or tripods, which make everything big again. Obviously, that's a smaller market, and is in competition with the super-zoom bridge cameras.

I'll disagree on the flashes and fast glass. Tripods need to be large by nature of what they do. Besides, you really can't invalidate the size advantage over DSLRs. And people who aren't serious about photography won't be using an ILC to begin with.
