I don't disagree that full frame is a niche market, but 2011 has been a pretty "silent" year regarding full frame anyway. No new models, except for the rushed out 1Dx announcement. In fact, no new full frame cameras have been announced since 2009 (D3s, M9, A850).
I'm pretty sure 2012 will be different, at least regarding announcements.
One fact I find interesting is that even those that prefer to use smaller sensors in their DSLRs (for whatever reason) nonetheless often choose full frame glass over dedicated crop lenses.
