If you needed a body now, I would get an NX1.  It's more of a complete package with longer battery life, good ergonomics, no overheating, great image, etc.  As of today's date, the NX1 gives you a better shooting experience.  Don't worry about an eco-system or an investment.  Cameras are meant to be used, not collected.  Sony's future system upgrade path won't fix the current flaws of the A6300 (i.e. no touchscreen, poor handling, rolling shutter, etc). 
You can use an NX1 until it dies after the warranty is over, and then maybe look at a A6300 successor.  Sony make some really questionable design decisions, and the A6300's deal breakers are too hard to ignore.

Is there a hack yet for the NX1 that allows me to toggle between the EVF and the rear LCD after I've hit record?  This was my #1 dealbreaker for long outdoor shoots.

Regarding focus point hacks, is there any way to implement:
1) control the size of the AF focus box in video mode, and
2) be able to view the AF focus box as it tracks subjects in continuous focus (or face detect) in video mode? (similar to the GH4)

I still don't understand Sony's crusade against touchscreens.  Yes, you can do pull focus with button scrolling, but why not have a touchscreen for focus point selection in addition to buttons?  Every other manufacturer seems to be implementing touchscreens, so I'm not sure what Sony's business case against them is.

The lack of touch screen is unforgiveable. 
For all the people that moan that pros don't need a touch screen in models like the A7 and RX series, seeing Dan Chung's News Shooter touch screen demo clearly illustrates the focus pulling-like capabilities a touch screen offers. 
What's the point of having state-of-the-art PDAF without having easy access to focus point selection?

The problem is that Canon wants to make too much money.  The accountants and marketing people want to maximize profits by targeting the masses.  By doing this, you stiffle the creativity of the engineers. 
 
One must wonder if the Canon engineers purposely left breadcrumbs in the firmware code in hopes of having the full fruits of their labor discovered.

This is more of a game changer than the Laforet Movi!

For the low-budget film maker, the Pocket Cinema Camera is a "game changer."
 
If you're a GH2 user looking for much more DR and detail in the shadows, I can't see the GH3 bringing much new to the table in terms of image quality.  By comparison, the GH3 is looking like Panasonic's 5D mk III: an expensive incremental update that, while competent in its own right, fails to fundamentally change the industry to the same degree as its predecessor.

Is the GH3 still relevant?

The only thing preventing me from buying the EM-5 is the lack of 24p.  If this comes out in a firmware, I'm on board.

There are no ethical implications to what a business choses to charge for its products. We live in a capitalist society where price action is governed by supply and demand. Canon's goal is to maximize profits. Demand will ultimately dictate price. As much as it sucks, Canon are under no moral obligation to provide cameras at a reasonable price for low budget filmmakers. Take a look at Apple. Margins on most of their products are significantly higher than the competition, yet the demand for them is through the roof.
