9600GT suffers due to 8800GT

Shortly before launching the 9600GT, Nvidia decided to sell all the 8800GT chips it had to its partners. This is what Nvidia traditionally does and with the current pricing, it is very tough to sell either of them.

The issue with the Geforce 8800GT, a card which we still consider as the best price performance ratio in computer graphics history, is that it's too closely priced to the 9600GT.
