Very soon, the pixels will stop being the limiting factor, and other
things will become the bottle-neck: optics, diffraction [limit].
Actually, I remember seeing recently some estimates that indicate that
the resolution of the cheap lenses is already more limiting
than the higher-end DSLR's sensor pixelation.
And with the small-sensor P&S's, the diffraction limit starts
being noticeable from f/4-f/5.6 but can actually play some role from
f/2.8 (on a 1/2.3" sensor).
Here is just one of many write-ups that discusses that:

As Tue tech improves how far can it go? Will our current 16Mp be laughable
in just 2 years if soon we might get 30-40Mp on the low end with this
technology?
