According to a poll on photo.net : (3705 votes) 36.4% prefer Nikon, 2.3%
Leica. Maybe far more different outside these circles. Hey, just as a
pain-relief: Leica beats Yashika (0.9%).

Doesn't mean they don't care for a RF market, if there is one.
Konica/Voigtl. sales will tell. There is always demand for something 'different'. But I
doubt many are willing to learn how to handle a RF (the market is already
swapped with abandoned M6).
