It's already happening with nikon and canon gen2 mirrorless cameras. Professionals will not change immediately because they are heavily invested in their dslr system cost wise as well as gauranteed performance and reliability that their livelihoods depend on. Still the one to beat is Sony. Here is a video 2 yrs. ago of a pro who switched and his reasons why. Camera companies make cameras to sell. Photographers use cameras to make images so...

In my opinion, DSLR's would be here to stay for the foreseeable future (plus minus 5 or so years). Although many people are making the jump to mirrorless, until companies can offer as wide a range of lenses and bodies at as wide a range of price points, there will be many people who will continue buying or buy into DSLR's. Sony is well on it's way to achieving this, however, there is still much to be desired, such as their lackluster APSC lens lineup and weirdly shaped bodies less suited for photography and more for videography. Looking at Nikon and Canon the same problems exist. There is either a lack of affordable bodies or a lack of affordable glass. All these ensures that DSLR's are here to stay (at least for now) and would not make a hurried exit as many assume.
