I still think the 5D3 is a better camera as a whole (AF, design, menus, features, video etc) than the D800 BUT the D800 does have more resolution and clean shadow detail.
Im pretty certain a 1DXS is coming soon. But forget about a 5D4 until at the very least the next photokina 2 years from now.
The point is, they merged the two lines.
That means, they got the technical know how and capabilities to make a sports camera full frame.
What should prevent them now to put a 45 MP FF sensor into exactly this same body? It would just mean a slower framerate. That could be done without any problem at the same pricing imo, too.
So in the futur Canon photographers have the choice to go 1D X or 1D X HR if they need higher resolution. Everything else is the same. That might have been already planed with a 36MP sensor, but of course D800 creates a less bigger future for this. The comming body imo will offer even more MP.
