Both sensors are built by Sony with design input from Nikon.  Sony is  
flexible enough to provide special custom features for Nikon that are  
exclusive to Nikon even when the basic sensor is shared out to other  
camera makers. The only sensor Nikon has built so far is the LBCAST  
sensor in the D2H. Since Nikon builds the machines that make the  
sensors for Sony they have developed a close working relationship over  
the years.
