The 1D3 fiasco was certainly an embarrassment for Canon, but they seem to have

Because every good Cannoneer, ah, Canonian should always aim
for the weak spot of the enemy. :-)

embarrassing glitches. And let's face it: Nikon's competitors haven't exactly
stepped up to the 36Mp challenge.

It is obviously not a question of "not capable", it's a question
if it's worth it. There are few people who need a 36 MPix 35mm
camera; and unless you're shooting medium format-like with it
you're not using the resolution. OK, there ARE those who buy
just for the bragging rights. ("I have about as many Gigahertz
in my CPU as the D800 has Megapixels, eat your heart out!")
