Quite simple... If the R600 had been able to compete with the 8800GTX, do you really think the next cycle from NVidia would've been the 9800GTX and that ATi would've followed the 2900 with the 3870?

The cycle we were on was 100% increase(in some cases more) for multiple years, as soon as one company couldn't sustain it that cycle dropped the very next round... Doesn't take rocket science to figure out why, as NVidia didn't have a push to keep it up.
