But for higher resolution?
Personally, I don't really need more than 12 MP.

Why would you need more than 6mp then?
Why need more than 3mp?
If one never makes photos that warrant bigger prints, one doesn't need 12mp. But 12mp has it limits too. And judging by the interest in AA-less cameras for fake resolution and higher resolution FF 135format cameras and MF digital backs, higher resolution is not without interest.
It is fine if you never make photos that should or need to have bigger print sizes, but camera makers do not design cameras for one individual's needs. It is obvious that higher resolution sensors will bring gains, and that is what it is about.
When higher end digital cameras had 3mp (I had a lovely Canon S30 back then) people on internet forums used to say that should be enough for everyone too <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The only problem I have with higher resolutions is the bigger file sizes that come with that.
