I seriously doubt that the 9 series will fail. On the contrary. You're all looking at the cards as meager improvement of the GeForce 8 series, but considering GeForce 8 is a good, yet very old, series it is going to succeed.
Most people are just going to see that the new cards are slightly faster and less power consuming than the old ones and be happy with that.
The hardcore people like us are of course disappointed, but we're still just a drop in the ocean for NVIDIA. Even though we do create the most headlines.

And what really puzzles me is that there wasn't half the discussion when ATI decided to name the RV670 cards HD 3800 instead of 2950...
