Quote - Two render engines is completely different than character file formats and handlers...

And Zev, you are right. Being able to use all the clothes is a huge benefit, just not for SM. Their Genesis yearly profit is probably next to nothing.

SM has never really developed their own content. They sell you software to render and create, so if their software isn't able to load something pretty to render, how many copies of their software are they going to sell?

Quote - Ford isn't in business to sell Chevys, just like SM isn't in business to sell Genesis...

No, more like Dell doesn't manufacture CPUs, so how many computers would they sell if they were still loading computers with x86 486 chips they still had lying around instead of the Intel 64-bit chips people want?

Quote - Who is to say that SM wont come out with a better system, you never know....

If history serves on their figure releases, I really wouldn't hold my breath on that one. The Poser group is a tiny group in Smith Micro, which business is currently in providing mobile video solutions as their main line of business. Getting resources to fund a comprehensive figure system in a hobbyist app when they're focused on streaming videos to smart phones and other video devices is highly doubtful.
