Everyone can repeat truths. G92 and G94 were squarely predictable (the duh kind). G80 was available for developers before so it's fairly easy to get an approximation.
When everyone is aiming at that ballpark in performance, everyone's basically gotta be right.

If we go by classic nVidia, GT200 should not be 9900. 9900 should be G92b (55nm) "refreshes" to bump up clocks and all. G92b is a very expandable asset, if RV770 comes too fast then they'll release GT200 and probably steer away the hype.
It does kinda pester me that Crysis 2560 4x needs 2 cards for just 30fps, given that I was personally giving 1 GT200 the expectation of 1920 4x. (It's one GT200 or 2 RV770, no hotter than that for me)
