I think/hope Canon will consolidate and update the RP/R. IBIS, new AF, legitimate 5 FPS, full width 4K24P, $1500 launch price.

The R isn't really sure for replacement for another year, the RP possibly not for at least two years, going by the models whose sensors and market position they share. I think the R and the RP are aimed at different users and consolidating then into one model will lose some of them. A $1500 launch price seems too cheap to do the hardware for IBIS, legitimate 5 FPS, full width 4K24, etc. properly. We can all dream, but unrealistic expectations don't help.

My guess is that the main reason EOS R is still being made--in spite of not selling that well

Are there any sales numbers that support this conclusion? I’ve never seen anything that indicates the R hasn’t sold well.

I would think that in order of popularity the order would be RP, R, R6, R5 and R3

So far all I've seen is guesses or speculation.  And the important measure is profit, not volume.
