I think it might haves something to go with availability. All of the big box stores around me sell the nikon & canon dslr's and p&s's. As far as mirrorless goes, a couple sony's and maybe a samsung.

I rarely go to "big box" stores, but the ones in NYC (BestBuy) carry a few Olympus and Panasonic M4/3 cameras.

Of course there's B&H here, which is a destination store, so you'll see tons of people from everywhere buying various camera equipment.

Interestingly, the P&S department used to be fairly crowded and now you'll very few people there. Thank you, iPhone.

I think the general public doesn't even know about m4/3.

Definitely not.

When I mention mirrorless or Micro Four Thirds to people and they look bewildered.
