Usually, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D X II and D6.

As you can see, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Nikon D6 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The older 1D X II is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
