It is a lousy strategy to hope your competitors go away so you can survive.
It is a lousy strategy because you've made it up
Strategies made up on forums are either brilliant or lousy - and neither would work.
Pentax managed to survive quite some time despite the strong competition from Canon, Nikon and others. Their real strategy is heavily based on the new products.
Besides, I very much doubt Canon and Nikon will (both) launch new DSLR products. Without these, their DSLR lines will fade.
