The big DSLR sellers (Canon, Nikon) both had reasons to fail when it comes to mirrorless. And so of course that they did.
The Nikon 1 system has been very successful in Japan, capturing a double-digit percentage of the market in a very short time. It is less successful in Europe, and probably not at all in the States. The EOS-M doesn\'t appear to have gotten any traction, really. 2.1% in Japan, about 0% everywhere else.
We would have to know what their respective intentions were before judging them, however. If they really wanted to fight MFT and NEX, they have failed. If they wanted to stem the tide, Canon has failed and Nikon partially failed. If they wanted to stem the tide locally (we know that they consider the Japanese market disproportionately important, beyond just money numbers), then Canon failed and Nikon succeeded.
