RAM chip industry tanking fast

I think a big issue that people have figured out, is to wait about a year after the latest greatest inventions come out, as the price tanks in a year. Look at the Nvidia 8800 GTS 512 video card. It was 329.99 US 8 months ago, and can be had for 129.99 US from Newegg, and add a 30 dollar rebate to it, and it's dirt cheap. I also think the technology is developing so quickly now, that the companies can't turn a buck like they did before. The latest greatest thing is out in what, something like 9 months? It's about half of what it was 15 years ago.
