The easiest way to do mirrorless for P1 would be to release an EVF based finder for the current XF camera.

That could interest some users of the XF platform, but I don't see how it would turn the XF body to mirrorless as the mirror box would still be there or how it could add sales to the XF plarform... Usually what attracts customers to mirrorless (out of advanced photographers) is the reduction in size and the reduced mounting distance which makes the camera compatible with view cameras... an EVF can't do either of those....
IMO, looking to the direct competition of P1 - which undoubtedly is Hasselblad, P1 needs urgently (many) new products as to compete... Lets not forget that (according to the CEO of Hasselblad) "there will be even more surprises at Photokina"....
If one looks and compares between the two firms:
1. P1 has the XF platform and then four backs for it (IQ-1/50, 2/50, 3/50 & 3/100), which are directly competed by Hasselblad H6D-50c & 100c and then at a better price but with
additional video features and film compatibility.... All other backs out of P1 are with discontinued CCD sensors (much like the H5D-60) that will no longer be available after stock of sensors expires.
2. Mamiya/Leaf has an outdated plarform (the DF) and only one back (the Credo 50), which again is under specified with respect to H5D-50c which offers additional modulalirity (interchangeable finders), compatibility with film and again, better price.
But in addition, Hasselblad has to offer the X1D (with video), the H5X, the CF-V, the 50MS & 200MS backs, the 50MS & 200MS cameras & the HTS 1.5x adapter... All in all a much more complete system....
One should therefore expect for P1 to react before even more new products and features are announced from Hasselblad that would expand the handicap further...
