You2, I have no clue where you get that "large lenses" bs from. The Canon 35/1.8 is fairly compact, as well as the 50/1.2 (!). I've seen and used the two available Nikon lenses. The 24-70 is very compact (and should be as it's only f/4), the 35/1.8 is a tad smaller than the Sigma version and much smaller than Nikon's genuine 35/1.4 and in line with their 35/1.8.
"Mirrorless is all about size and weight" and if not, it's not worth buying - this statement is as wrong as it is boring. It's a bit of less weight and due to shorter flange distance also a less deeper body, but for the rest everything else - battery, shutter, electronics, space for card slot and interface sockets. EVF makes a smaller profile than a full pentaprism, but that's about the weight-/size savings. On the contrary, it needs more battery power, so the weight goes a bit up at this aspect.
Wether Nikon survives or not also depends if they decide to focus less on bad marketing and just deliver their stuff. Other voices see Canon's 30 MP sensor as dated, miss a couple of things (not) implemented in the first generation- in short, suddenly everybody knows how to make the perfect mirrorless camera. But few companies try.
