I think that your are wrong. Maybe I am wrong, but I think that Pentax is already working in that field. And the fact that they didn't realise no new DSLR in the last period is a sign. And those statements made by Pentax representatives reminds me about other statements, about FF camera, before the release of K1. More, even this discution is similar with those about the necessity, or not, of a FF camera in Pentax line, in that time.
And, most probably, I will receive a lot of flak now, as I did then, when I said, ''FF or dead''.
Most likely they have several research projects, including large sensor mirrorless. But that doesn't mean they plan to launch a mirrorless system in the near future.
While I'm not privy to internal information, I don't think they'd be doing it - they'd first want to complete the DFA lens line, and likely update the APS-C a bit. And... they said they're concentrating on DSLRs, for now.
I received a lot of flak when I said, "they're not planning any FF, for now", then, "they're preparing a FF".
Now I'm saying: "they're not planning any mirrorless, for now".
