Well, yes, but already quite a while ago with the 5D III, IMO. The EOS 3 was basically an EOS 1 in a smaller body. That's hardly the case with the 6D.
Don't get me wrong, this looks like a very capable camera. But unlike the 5D III, which to me has the edge over the D800, the 6D seems to fall short compared to the D600 in most regards (not all though).
The last page of the preview over at dpr sums it up quite nicely, IMO.

The 5D mk III seems to be better in most departments (performance wise, not just spec wise) compared to the D800 except in two areas: sensor resolution and low ISO noise performance.
I agree that spec wise, the D600 appears more complete. How they both perform in various areas will have to be tested yet. I think the 6D may just have a better AF system than just looking at the AF point specs.
The 6D does seem to have the nicer LCD (3:2, same as the 5D mk III). I like that it has the Eg-S focus screen available. Both seem to be very nice cameras, but both still have a quite high introduction price...
