Companies like Olympus have been saying that as well; but their  
flagship camera is a 4/3 system, easy to carry, camera thats also easy  
on disk space, with its modest file size, so it only makes sense to  
have that opinion. And they are right, for many types of output, but  
as you say: for large prints, pixels still count, as does dynamic  
range. But one has to have at least a 17 inch wide printer, ideally a  
24, or else be cropping files heavily, before those extra pixels  
become critical.
