Well, that's Nikon's word, not mine :-).

However, if you look at the pixel pitch of Canon's sensors, it's not
particularly large and it's even getting smaller as they increase MP over
the same sensor size.
So, I do not know, but Nikon seem to be saying that over time, current
issues with APS size sensors would be solved and farther improved.
Just like film, the larger the better principle begins to come into the
equation.  So, if one wants a larger sensor, go to 645 is also a valid
point, just like film.
