The Nikon upgrade path is maybe a chip or 2 swap out for the sports shooter.
At $500 they are making money.  But it is only $500, and the user that needs
it really NEEDS it.
Leica wanted .. what.... $2K?  For a different viewing screen cover on the
rear  and something else that I now forget..... oh, and a warranty
increase..... Different game.  

Maybe they understand ..... different customer?

With Nikon already going this route, Leica wasn't too far off the  
mark in thinking that its consumer base would pay for upgrades.
