You have to be far more careful with high MP cameras, any movement shows up 
more.  Holding an M at slow shutter speeds but 47MP will not be the same ;-) 
 I often think of selling some of my M stuff (most of it, even bought new, 
is in 'user' state) as I rarely use it these days...

For my interest, the 47mP Q2 is most interesting.....  ( I am not a S guy...)

Leica has, in the past, shared the sensor among a few models and between 
series of cameras.  They all topped out at 24mP.  The rumor that there may 
be a 47mP sensor in Leica's arsenal may mean the M family and the Sl family 
may be next for the same sensor resolution......  

I could see the sensor of the M11 or SL2 being 47mP.....   That would be 
very interesting..... The more modern lenses surely could handle the 
resolution increase...
Now if they would only offer a R lens converter that manipulated the 
aperture......
