They are making cameras that are increasingly more complex with more things that can (and do) go wrong or need fixing.

The answer is to add no new features but add them later, like Fuji do, via firmware updates.
The bits they should add as new are things like new AF hardware or sensor with the additional bells and whistles coming.
Some may argue that this will lead to bad press but sometimes you need to take the attitude 'Let the customer decide and let the press be damned', Sometimes they pay too much attention to the internet blogs and magazines without considering how or why people buy cameras.
People buy mostly through friend recommendation, prior use and brand loyalty, with the Ken Rockwell's and other providing an influence on a small undecided or newbie group.
Unfortunately people are also buying cameras sight unseen, without ever touching or trying them.
