As 35mm camera users we've taken mobility for granted, but aside from image 
quality it's one of the big differences between a 35mm camera and a larger 
camera.  Combining handling and mobility with a big high-quality sensor is a 
significant advantage where the competition has either the mobility of 35mm 
or a big sensor, but not both.

Being first to market the concept is a significant advantage.

Yes that's half of its advantage.  The other half is medium-format image 
quality, which N and C don't have.
