The gtx 580 is not a competitor for the 6870 so hyping it up when barts is out is pointless and would just add further scrutiny for their marketing practises.
If Nvidia had a big announcement for the release of a gtx 580 at this point, it would just kill gtx 480 numbers and really do nothing to the sales of barts.
