If it's 46MP is safe to assume it's the same sensor in the A7rII? For me a bit disappointing. Sure the AF of the D5s and tilting LCD (finally) are great additions.
The DR of the Sony 46MP underperforms to the current D810 at least from what I found when I tried it.
1. Base ISO is fine but not as clean as the D810 @ 64
2. Higher ISO's are noisy and even mid range ISO 800-1600 were much more noise prone in areas a shadow, no push or very little
3. White dots and excessive noise when used for longer exposures. Nikon to their credit fixed the issue on the D810, and fixed it behind the scenes on the D800e. However Sony never did much to effect this issue and the noise on 30" to 2 minutes is huge. I will be interested to see
if Nikon improves on this at all.
NET to me, from the amazing output of the D810 or D810A, @ 36MP, just a bump to 46 is not really that impressive to me. But if Nikon improves on the image quality over what Sony did, then it might work out.

I highly doubt it is the same sensor, for starters A7r II is using a 42 Megapixel sensor, not 46.
Even if it is the same sensor technology, Sony and Nikon can use in very different ways (for example, A7r used the same sensor as D800e with very different end results...) or if we compare D810 and K1, same sensor different results.
About your points:
1- Nikon added the 64 ISO prioritizing for high DR... If they do the same with the D820 they will get better DR than any other manufacturer using the same sensor in a different body.
3- white dots are there, what happens is the Nikon is applying filtering to the RAWs, to clean it, after the image has been taken. Sony also does this in their A7r II but too aggressively, creating the infamous star-eater issue.
