I think the main problem is that for Nvidia, the consumer PC market is such an easy market for them to maintain that they don't have to try. Like if we assume the Blackwell will indeed be 15-30% increase in performance... Well what are we gonna do? It's up to Radeon to take advantage of the situation but we have seen that Radeon really doesn't take advantage at all. If Radeon makes 9070 XT $600 msrp and it performs similar to 5070 Ti for $750. Easy win for Radeon but are they going to?
And that's really the problem. Nvidia is selling a scam. We know they are selling a scam. But if Radeon ends up being scam with a $50 discount, then you might as well buy the scam. It's up to Radeon and Intel to make people buy their products and imo they will if their products are priced in a way that Nvidia can't match. We seen this with B580/B570 but granted they have driver problems. If Radeon can get off their defeatist mentality and actually price their products, the consumers will come. But if we have another repeat of RDNA 3... Then what else is there to say?
