And rumours that even Nvidia are about to have a really lousy quarter because of all their fire-sale discounting.

Ultimately Nvidia are financially more stable and have the cash reserves to ride a short term financial **** storm because of the success of G80/G92 and the professional sector, but that will only help Nvidia for so long, until they have to begin cutting back on R&D.

R&D is the life blood of innovation, without it we get inferior products for our cash.
Some people have been promoting the idea of brand-loyalty to the level of doing charity to these companies. These guys don't do charity for nerds, why should we care about how they make (or don't make) money? they better do R&D if they want to stay in business. If they don't, somebody else will come and fill the gap, for sure.

Anyways, only shareholders and those on the pay-check of these companies should care about these stuff. We, frequent consumers of GPU, need a good competition to get real prices.
