Believe me, whatever the price will be - it's not done without thinking about the market place.

I hope they earn more money from R10 that enable them to work on r11 and r12. What I'm saying that Leica should not put so much features and technology in this body that make it so pricy, If a 21MP sensore cost 3000$ more than a 12MP, It is OK for me that R10 comes with much cheaper one.
Another issue is that almost all lenses are somehow more expensive compare to the copetitors. I think what leica can do is produce two series of lenses, first is the current one that is produced on Germany and can satisfy the thouphest tastes and a much cheaper series that have good quality but not as good as the first one. These lenses can be produced on countries like china to reduce costs. They can expand the Leica's custmer base and gives more revenue to build other products. This is exactly what Zeiss is doing.
