But yeah, if just seeing Nvidia(applies to AMD aswell) on top again makes one happy...
My point of view was performance-wise tho, but I see your point I also don't think nvidia made this card to gain profits, just for a marketing thing the only one affected here could be the 4870X2 since now it has a good contender, with same or less price tag (depends on ati brand) less consumption and better performance that combined with good drivers service is the winning combo !

Q1 09 drivers update by ATI will be interesting
Thats the problem you have to wait a while to solve any bugs or get a better performance (Deadspace for an example?) for your cards a month at least, and sometimes you gain nothing, nvidia driver service is undeniable better since they launch a driver weekly (or even daily sometimes) if they have to, you don't see that with ATI often
