I think you are comparing apples and oranges when you compare the Hassy vs
Leica R.

Hassy's are in a different market and have a niche among wedding/portrait
photogs.  Additionally they have a broad line of cameras that provide
various different entry pricing.  Furthermore they have excellent marketing
as well.

Leica Rs are competing against all of the other 35mm SLRs and do not have a
well defined target market.

Does Hasselblad have a future?
They seem comfortable with manual focus just like Leica.
