Not to mention prices as start.
but when Nvidia released GT200, 55nm was already ready for a long time.
When they shrinked to 55nm, ATI didn't did anything, because it was already the smallest node, there was no improvement on the red side.

That is not the case, we don't have 28nm ready already. When Nvidia moves to 28nm, ATI will make a die shrink too, so if it is like GT200, things will go really bad for Nvidia, because ATI will make a improvement too.
