Yes, for the part of the DSLR market that is the domain of the snap shooters the "micro-system" obviously is a good alternative. Not so for the more serious enthusiast and photographer, though. For them, "micro" makes less sense, as the lenses themselves will never be "micro".

They will be smaller, of course. Leica M lenses were always smaller than Leica R just to give you an obvious example.
Even long tele lenses can be a bit smaller albeit to a lesser degree of course.

The SLR will be given "back" to the photographer, with obviously a bit a smaller market share.

A Panasonic G1/2 handles pretty much exactly like a DSLR. And what makes a micro-system user a "lesser" photographer ?
The result is/can be the same. There were many world-class photographers using a Leica M just to come up with this example again.
