That's a different game. Some people are still buying MF digital gear  
because a) they can afford to, b) they've got the lenses, etc., c)  
they like to use 'blads and d) they meet customer expectations of  
what 'real' studio equipment should look like.
Then of course, pixel counts aren't everything. It all depends how  
good those pixels are.
Remember that good MF lenses were never quite as good optically as  
the best 35mm lenses but the results were always better - that's an  
analogous situation perhaps.
And of course the gear is almost infinitely upgradeable - you just  
buy the next and better back.
