A1 TapeOut was ready by the end of october, so the earliest date would have been late November for a launch with Availability in December.
DesktopGPUs grow about 19%
QuadroGPUs grow about 25%
Overall GPU-Buiness increased by 22%

nvidia delivers RSX for Playstation3 and PhysX for WII, Playstation3 and Xbox360.
The ION-Chipset is in the Mac-Mini
and so on and so on. There is no reason to believe, nvidia will get in trouble in the next few quarters.

nvidia is more and more developing software and thats a much safer ground than a possible little advantage for ATI to be some months early to the market with hardware. You will see when they move to Global Foundries, that it doesn't matter that much.
