Will it be more sensible to buy "a Fermi product" after ATI launches it's 6xxx series in a few months? It's a rethorical question, btw.

People should buy whatever suits their needs on a given day. There's allways something faster or revolutionary around the corner.
Today it might not suit everyone to buy Fermi. If I were building a new rig I would definitely consider getting a GTX 480 above a HD5870. (I'd probably buy a HD5870 anyway, but getting a 480 isn't out of the question.)

ATI doesn't launch its 6xxx series in a few months. In fact, everything points to the fact that AMD won't be doing much in a few months except maybe a 5890, which has never been confirmed.

Meanwhile Fermi can maybe see a new revision. Even if it doesn't, its future yields will be better and the product a little bit cooler and more efficient.
