But was it because Nikon were unable to produce a highly developed sensor, because it seems unlikely that this was by design.

You come out with some rubbish flake. Sony make chips but don't design them! They are based on Kodak research who design them and then licence the design to Sony. To say the D3 was a lucky break is utter rubbish, and could be regarded as very brave by Nikon as mags always push for more pixels per chip/sensor. A few weeks after the D3's release a firmware update was provided which included the reference to the D3x, so it appears Nikon already had the sensor for it.
As to the question posed by the original poster, I would stick with Canon if you are use to the system and have a lot of lenses.
