My 12 MP smartphone from 2012 has way worse IQ than my 2 MP digicam from 2002, it's nigh unusable as a shooting tool. I understand that this is "probably" not representative of the scene as a whole but I wouldn't mind having a "good" P&S like the Panasonic DMC-LX7 or Sony RX100 mark a lot. The bottom end, of course, has just crumbled like an adobe house in an earthquake, although I still see some stuff on sale (even in hypermarkets).
