That 120-300 is going to be huge(size). It is in a niche with no real competition.

no real competition? there's the sigma 120-300sport that is as sharp as thier 300f2.8 already...oh, and it's 1/3 of the price

just a small correction: Sigma 120 -300 / 2.8 Sports is not as sharp as Canikon 300/2.8 primes. not even close.

This is this wishful thinking right?

Because Nikon cannot satisfy even 500 f/5.6 PF demands after all this time.

Lol, you are right. It is still listed on BH as "New - Limited quantity" for a two year old lens.

I'd say it's close to the nikon:

What's better, making something so successful that you can't produce enough to satisfy demand or having to dump at massive discounts after a year?

It's the lightweight lens that we have been waiting for Canon to make.

Yeah, Nuh . At 300mm end Sigma is a descent but not a spectacular lens. Very good AF by the way. But, shhhh. Do not tell Sigma that they sell this lens way to cheap
