Yes and no. I think the article is more about what is good for Nikon as opposed to the overall market.
Consumer demand is way down, so Nikon, which has had financial losses is perhaps fighting an uphill battle.
At some point it might be better for THEM to concentrate on their optics divisions (binoculars,scopes, medical equipment) where they enjoy nice profits and a stronger market.
Strictly a business decision for sure. May be good for a Nikon but not for consumers. But then again how many business decisions are made with the consumer in mind?
