Yes, both Samsung NX and Sony are compact without their lenses but imagine taking photos of fauna with a 300mm or 400 mm lens. We have already a FF mirror less lineup from Leica but focusing technology differs.
Biggest challenges I could see for both Nikon and Canon is backwards compatibility which Nikon already managed to deliver with their hybrid focusing system. Now the doubt is what sensor size will Canon use in their compact system cameras for their pro summer mirror less line up. As Canon is the leader I am sure Nikon will follow with a similar size but likely with extra experience gathered with the Nikon 1 CX.
