A99 already has on sensor PDAF, but if Sony completely ditches SLT, that would mean they have improved on sensor PDAF technology. If Nex-6 is not on par with DSLR in AF tracking, it doesn't follow that future version of that technology will be stagnated at Nex-6 level forever!
This would not be same as K01 which uses very crappy and slow Contrast AF.
Sony is NOT quitting A-mount. anytime soon. They recently released 500mm F4, new version of 300mm F2.8, revised 70-400mm. They are releasing new version of 70-200mm. They are releasing Zeiss 50mm F1.4 next month in July. There is no way they are spending millions on these new lenses while ditching A-mount simultaneously at the same time.
That doesn't even make sense.
My bet is that they are certain that they can match SLT AF with on sensor PDAF next year ...
