I agree with that, but actually we are already there with IQ and high ISO capabilities in most cameras sold today. Definitely this is true for m43 since the introduction of the OMD.I hesitate before posting this as I don't want to start a pixelpeeper war.
BUT
My experience of talking to photographers earning a living from their cameras suggests that they would prefer better high ISO performance to get more available light opportunities when they have had to use flash in the past. Plus the benefits of speed/aperture that optional high ISO brings.
Most are happy with the number of pixels they already own.

So the question which comes up is, do we need even better high ISO? Are we all shooting surveillance or do most of us (including pros) shoot at least in low light? Photography is painting with light at least, so I think this answers the question.
Point with Pana sensors is, that so far their sensors were not so great low light performers, this might have changed with the GX7.
My point is, they are late to the game, given what the OMD offered already 18 months ago. Then concluding from that I could not care less about a slightly better high ISO performance compared to an increase to decent and versatile resolution - which for me is in the range from 20-24MP. I agree more is not necessary for most applications.
