Apparently you don't remember the 8800GTX or Ultra launch prices
I remember 7900GTX 512 launch price. And you totaly missing the point here. Of course every gamer would like to hve uber system with tri-sli etc etc. But only fraction of these people can actually afford or willing to spend that much money on it. Who cares about awesome performance if you can only imagine it watching the graphs on reviews.
I play lot of games and for most of them even 3870 is enough. And I do have 24" screen with 1920x1200.
