There is also a huge variety of SLI ready cards, from 128mb to 512mb from 6600s to 7800gtx, and many vendors are making and selling SLI ready cards. Though Crossfire appears to be promising, its limited to a few cards from the get go, and Nvidia can always stay one step ahead, such as the release of newer and better drivers, newer and better lines of cards, and newer and better applications tailored for SLI. Plus, there are already a lot of games which are proven to perform better with SLI, this has been tested, and SLI drivers are made to optimize these games.
I would continue on, but I think I have made my point. For the moment, SLI certainly is one step ahead, and it appears that it will stay that way

True but, nVidia releasing thing before ATI gives ATI the advantage as they know where to aim for the next product.
Also the very same argument can be given to Intel, end of the day they both do the job very well and generally, these days, the only difference is the price TBH.
