5900fx sucked, they came back with 6800gt/ultra, 7800/7900gtx, 8800gtx, gtx280, gtx 580. All winners. And nvidia has far better software and drivers, that in itself is worth a lot.
I don't think your argument is valid. The 6800gt was a winner, but the x1950xtx beat the 7900gtx. The 8800 gtx might just be the great gpu of all time; it's dominance can only be described by the word leng-wait-for-it-i-hope-you're-not-lactose-intolerant-dary. The gtx 280 on the other hand sucked in a lot of ways and frankly was not a very strong performer compared to the 4870x2 at that. The gtx 580 could be described as a winner, but it took the epic fail known as the gtx 480 to get there and still it runs very hot.

I would say the two companies have been trading blows rather well ever since the introduction of the 4870. Winning would imply they actually have a superior product across the board, which frankly I don't think is true with the exception of the 8800gt/gtx and perhaps the gtx 680 generations if the rumors are true.
