It seems to me that the camera business is going back and to where it was before the digital revolution. In the film days nobody needed a new camera every year. You kept your camera for decades. I've bought a zillion digital bodies chasing the next best thing. But do I need to anymore? The camera's capabilities exceed mine by a long shot. I don't think I'm alone in this. So it's back to the business model of the film days. New bodies for new photographers and replacements for broken ones. Nikon did fine in those days and I doubt it's point and shoot business carried it then. It and canon will need to adjust to a smaller size. Sony, Panasonic and Olympus have other much more renumerative business models. If you doubt the last company check out who made the equipment at your next colonoscopy. Camera stores are already mostly gone. B&H and adorama will survive since local stores are dead. The biggest change will be for us. With fewer new cameras to debate we'll have to go out and take pictures instead.
