Of not making sense, I can't see any other players making significant m4/3 bodies. Why compete directly with two established players in one part of the mirrorless market? There's only so much room for a 3rd party lens manufacturer to eat in there, and I suspect Sigma will take most of that in the mainstream. Similarly I can't see someone else making E-mount bodies. Fuji has to go it alone. I think they have the resources and determination to come up with something interesting. The lower-mid ground is pretty well covered and maybe even a bit saturated for another "me too" player. The top end will be very profitable if they can execute well.

I remember that the E-mount protocol has been published so, at least in theory, it could be adopted.
