I don't see how that can be true. Pundits were invented long before the DSLR
was. 8^)

Eventually the point of ever higher resolutions is lost, I sold bunch of images
made with the K20D and one became an add that covered the size of a bus. 14 to
18 megapixel cameras have reached sufficiency for most professional and amateur
work, which probably accounts more for the drop off in DSLR sales than anything
else.
As to the nail in the coffin of DSLR makers, there are currently only three and
a half DSLR makers. Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Sony. You can count Pentax or
Sony as the half, Pentax because it has such a small market share, or Sony
because it's DSLR is a hybrid which uses it's mirror simply for AF while it's
actual viewfinder is an EVF. I expect Sony will exit that market long before
any of the other three, and it won't be higher resolution from software that
causes it.

While the race has been on to produce higher and higher resolution
sensors for digital cameras, while reducing the noise, the future is
post-processing images to enhance grain/noise and sharpness. It
appears that this is possible now, but at a very high cost. (It is
still more economical to buy a more capable camera than to buy the
hardware that can DO this. But I'm sure that will change in time.

When costs come down, this will be one of the final nails in the
coffin of many DSLR camera makers.
It also will mean that great images are not going to require larger
sensors. Cameras like the newly announced Nikon superzoom P1000 will
be all a "serious" photographer needs. And currently "unusable" high
ISOs will suddenly become viable with AI post-processing.
