What do you mean nVidia would be in trouble again?!?
I agree that they are in trouble NOW (by not having a new DirectX 11 card on the table) but the last time they were in trouble was the notorious Geforce FX series cards

G200 (rather RV770) was trouble for Nvidia. A spade is called a spade.

Massive price cuts after after the first week, subsiding AIB partners, profit margins damaged while AMD/ATI's market share increased in both desktop and notebook sectors.

The high costs of producing G200 compared to RV770 was what made Nvidia's pricing and product placement strategy inflexible.

Also the Radeon 5xxx series supply shortages are blown way out of proportion. I remember that the G80 was facing similar problems years ago. It's just pent up demand in the face of a new OS and new DirectX revision.
