Why won't cards with 256 bit memory interfaces drop in price?

NV is taking 6-9 months to roll-out their line of GTX650/650Ti/660/660Ti = lack of competition has kept prices high since AMD didn't have to do much in the sub-$300 level to get sales. Expect much better price/performance with HD8000/GTX700 series. Alternatively, I can see HD7850 dropping in price to $120-130 near EOL.
