The problem isn't that folks shooting micro four thirds are going to pick up and move to some other format, it is more the question of what draws new users to it versus other brands/sensor sizes. There is an awful lot choice available. Assuming someone has decided they want a mirrorless camera and not an SLR, what makes them decide whether they want micro four thirds, APS-C, or full frame? You can craft relatively small cameras and lenses in each one of these categories for amounts that won't break the bank. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Olympus decides to branch out into another size sensor, even as they continue to make micro four thirds cameras and lenses.
All that said, I certainly don't see the format going away. It seems on pretty solid footing to me.

Micro four thirds is far from dead.
That said, their platform is fairly mature and it is hard to know where they go from here to keep selling new bodies and lenses to users who don't see much difference between new stuff and their current gear. The big claim to fame of the next Olympus camera is that it is better at video. That's fine, but I don't know how many bodies that will actually sell (feels like the four thirds folks who were really interested in video already got Pansasonic cameras).
