The Nikon 1 uses a small sensor - the crop factor would be somewhere close to three if you were to use F glass on it. Good for telephoto. Wide angle? Not as much.
I would be surprised if the Nikon 1 tempted many who have invested in lots of F glass. Now, if Nikon were to release a mirrorless full-format camera with excellent AF and low-light performance, I believe you'd find a lot of people asking them to shut up and take their money.

It attracted a lot of birders. The 2.7 crop factor went a long way for them. To get equivalently fast glass with long focal lengths on the larger sensor cameras would have cost tens of thousands of dollars and translated into several pounds of added gear weight.
