I.e., you can easily make poster-sized prints with a 6 megapixel camera and nobody would be able to tell the difference from the same size print from a 12 megapixel camera without a loupe.
What's more important is sensor size and lens quality.
Non-SLR cameras (with only a few exceptions) have shitty little tiny sensors. Smaller sensor at the same resolution means each photosite gets less light. Net effect: A good large percentage of those pixels are just noise, especially at higher ISO.
Additionally, the larger sensors in SLRs mean that you can have much narrower depth of field. Dunno if you know what that means, but it's (often) a good thing.
