Had Nvidia launched said products-and also the GeForce 8800 GTS for that matter-as part of the GeForce 9-series, the company was worried that sales for its current GeForce 8-series cards would have dropped through the roof – it's hard to imagine that this didn't happen anyway but, yeah, it led to a big sea of grey. Yes, we're talking about the GeForce 8800 GT (in both 256MB and 512MB variants) and the GeForce 8800 GS here – products that Nvidia has admitted probably should have been a part of the GeForce 9-series, but launched in the busiest buying period of the year.

No, it's because it's breaking Nvidia's tradition of launching the fastest graphics card in a new series first and it's not as if the company's mid-range was already pretty crowded because of the slew of end-of-year releases in the GeForce 8-series. The GeForce 9600 GT is a strange product in many ways – not because of its performance, or really its price for that matter either.
