When GT200 launched it was reasonable to wait and see as 4000-series was only weeks away but now it is at least three months, probably nearly the double.
Good point.

I guess in my case it's a bit different since the only game I'd possibly play that would require more GPU power than I have is Crysis. I don't mind waiting if I have to.

For more active gamers or people using higher-res LCD's, I think you're right though.
