Imo there will come a cheap intro FF from both companies this year. Nikon will bring their D600. And Canon will bring the 7D follow up as an cheaper FF intro, too. I would be surprised, if Canon would bring another high MP FF this year.
I saw a thread hier concerning japanese DSLR sales in the first half of 2012. If those numbers where right and those sales could be seen as a mirror to worldwide sales, Nikons D800 did not change anything (positiv) for Nikon but the oposite - D800 hype in the internet does not say anything based on those sale numbers.
But to come back to the topic. I would love a 4500 Euro price tag for 1D X.

Addition for retrofocus:
I know many Canon shooters, too. Like me (5D II) who not already used them all wished a sensor/IQ of 5D II. None of them asked for higher resolution. None of them for better DR. Some (like me) asked for higher usable ISO and less banding and all of them (except me) for a better AF system.
All got offered, what they wished, except me (I got some more, I guess).
Those Nikon shooters I know loved and still love their D3, D3s, D700 and all just wished a 5D II like resolution. Non of them has upgraded to a D800 yet.
