No matter how fantastic Poser 5 may turn out to be, I don't see it as any kind of threat. Remember not everybody is talented enough to make use of all the advantages, Poser 5 may have. That's why people are buying things now, from all the diferent vendors. Not everyone is a Poser maven. I don't think merely making the improvements available, is suddenly going to make everyone who has Poser5, capable of "Final Fantasy"-type characters, for instance, or becoming an e-Vera Wang or e-Armani.
