More in the line of what A9 is to A1 in Sony lineup. Not a bad idea to test waters and new tech before coming out with flagship 1 series camera.

Canon may hide the resolution because it wants to hype the camera. Everyone will want to speculate about that and their doing so keeps the camera newsworthy and current. That said, the R1 will need to best the R3 and a higher megapixel count is one way to do that. Another way would be to have multiple processors to handle the demands made on the camera by high megapixel, high framerate camera. A third way would include a new quad pixel AF system. Of course, the R3 might introduce the QPAF at a low resolution while the R1 will provide that capability at a higher resolution.
The waiting is the hardest part.

If they force you to use 30fps only with electronic shutter (as the R5 forces you to use their 20fps only with it) then I will be beyond disappointed with that particular feature. I am hoping that they will offer various fps settings for all shutter modes, including fully electronic. Then, in the near future, I hope that they give R5 users a firmware update to allow various fps settings for electronic shutter as well. This is a very sorely-needed (and easy) fix for the R5 that Canon really needs to make as soon as possible.

DAMN 20MP IN 2021 on a $4000+ camera is a bit lack luster. this really would just be for sports or shooting styles that demand fast fps.

shoe can send data so maybe a mic or possibly a screen can go on top. it means canon is probably making some new toys for that shoe.

I went back to the interview w/ the Russian rep/head that was posted here on 4/30

... And of course, Sony a1because there are cool technologies there
... In other words, our camera will be in the segment of those cameras that are currently announced by competitors as top-end.
"closest competing model" is a subjective opinion. The R3 does compete with the Z9 in terms of it's body class (pro body layout, battery grip) and does compete with the A1 (30 fps electronic shutter)
I think it will come down to the new eye tracking focus and the ability to get the shot no matter the amount of craziness that is going on in the scene. The R5 brain is good, but it still loses it's head against busy backgrounds, sudden movements and changes in the scene.
Maybe then Canon will drop their case (1, 2, 3, 4) AF options - something I have never really learned to use reliably - and just have subject specific AF and generic AF, all supported by eye tracking
Heck .. if I can nail the shot 90% of the time in difficult AF situations -- just imagine that, even I - a pixel peeping bird photographer - would be willing to consider a lower sensor MP
Canon EOS R3 – это еще не флагман | PHOTOWEBEXPO
Во время московской выставки «Фотофорум-2021» нам удалось взять интервью у представителя компании Canon. На вопросы ответил Андрей Тищенко, руководитель отдела ...
What cameras will the Canon EOS R3 compete with on the market?
Of course, the closest competing model will be the Nikon Z9 , which we do not know much about yet, as the camera has just been announced and has not yet been officially unveiled... And of course, Sony a1because there are cool technologies there
... In other words, our camera will be in the segment of those cameras that are currently announced by competitors as top-end.

Typically, the 1 series cameras have not been the highest MP Canon camera even if they have been the most capable Canon cameras. Canon eventually will bring to market the long-promised high MP camera. This will be a niche camera and will best in resolution everyother Canon camera. But it may and likely will not be Canon's best camera even if it is the best Canon camera for the niche it serves.
