Chromogenic v. Digital

We were having a discussion over Christmeas about the relative detail that current digital cameras can achieve vis. a vis. chromgenic B&W. The best digital camera I have seen offers 2 million pixels per frame. How many equivalnet "dots" or "grains" does a chomogenic film have in the same area ? Can anyone help ? How does this compare with say FP5 ? The digital enthusiast said that electronic cameras were now approaching the same definition as normal film. I said I thought he was way out in his calculations - but maybe I'm wrong. What are the facts ?
