There's no real reference for this as it's a different type of product/market than say, a phone or something related. I certainly hope the 770 launch is not a benchmark as that was pretty rough, with months between the first promised release date and the actual release which dragged on for some time. I actually ordered mine over a month before it shipped and ended up getting one from a local store first.

Exactly
