I'm with Zev on this, it's not up to Daz to provide the next big Poser figure, why should they? Do they really need to tap back into the poser-only market? I'd say they are far better off focusing on growing their own market based around good figures designed to take full advantage of their own software. It's high time SM pulled their fingers out and developed a really good figure of their own.
Poser was once the only show in town and DS popped up as the little poser-compatible clone sidekick, but those days are over, DS is a real contender now with its own development path. It would stunt the development of both programs if they and their content had to stay fully compatible with each other forever, better for each to develop its own strengths. If content developers have to choose one to support, then that's just how it is. If they want to make content for both it'll take more work as the 2 programs diverge, but they'll have 2 markets to sell to.
