[Leica] New Eos 1n V

No I don't.  But Nikon certainly has a much larger embedded base of
customers who may still buy enough for them to justify its manufacture.
Besides, as time goes on and if product/design engineers are doing their
job, many products becomes less expensive to manufacture (each subsequent
year) which consequently ensures profitability.  
Probably a hidden reason the M continues to be profitable.

Whether we like it or not, the vast majority of SLR buyers will opt for AF
these days.

Which raises an interesting question, Peter: You you have any idea how many
F3s Nikon sells each year?
