First, I don't follow Nikon closely and have no account at Nikonians or Nikon rumours.
Second, you can't compare Series 1 with Z
Third I have no idea why you conclude about the numbers of one type of cameras to the numbers of the other type. If there's a decrase in bicycle sales it can mean the people are buying more pedelecs... I also bought enough DLSRs, over time I became just fed up with the time cosuming process of finetuning lenses which happens to be necessary
when I buy a new lens
when a lens or camera goes to service
when I buy a new (DSLR) camera
And fourth, why is Nikon's delayed decision to go mirrorless finally - which was expected for a long while - your concern? You think it might be better if they continue to sell DSLRs until all old DSLR buyers (not users, buyers) finally died? What else can Nikon do to continue making cameras? They will - as far as I interprete various informations - continue to make DSLRs - they just came out with a D3500 (entry levele). They tried to make a soft transition possible and I think the outcome is very okay. Over all this ado about only one card slot or slow AF with eye detect the news got lost that the sensor is slightly better than the alredy very good D850 sensor.
I don't understand why the mirrorless nature doesn't have a bigger impact on the camera price, but we got IBIS as a first in NIkon FX bodies.
The DL line was just another boring attempt to establish a high end compact which no one needed and suffered of overheating problems. The 1 series is another victim of Nikon's highly incapable marketing department and a toy of target group research projects. Obviously the researchers did a bad job. It's rather difficult to make a difference between the cameras and their quality and the advertisment group - same brand but maybe different targets.
You see, miro, I'm not happy with everything Nikon does. Most of their decisions are disappointing or weird, but they still know how to make cameras and lenses.
