And what happens when technology starts pushing the envelope...and compensates a couple of stops by manufacturing better sensors...like incase of sony 16mp sensor (and in the said better performing sensor of new NEX 5n)...
How does the equation change then?

Why should it ? Thanks to the fierce competition the sensor technologies are pretty much comparable. Advantage on either side are soon compensated again. So new technologies are either pushed up- or downwards within a short amount of time. The "difference" in performance remains therefore quite constant.
