Games like Alan Wake that utilize full dx10 capability will be released in few months and that will be the end of 8800GT or 8xxx series cards.
While buying a GPU we need to consider how many more months it can survive and not how many games it plays today.

Nope very wrong.......8800 is full DX10 capable card......and Alan Wake is no Super Game
Recomended config for Alan Wake is C2D@3Ghz and GeForce 7900GTX.
Remedy have showcased Alan Wake running smoothly on an Intel Core 2 Quad system overclocked at 3.73Ghz with a GeForce 7900GTX.....

and friend Crysis is a stupid game if you ask me about its optimization........
Even the GTX 280 and gives an avg FPS of 20 with decent res of 1920x1200 (High Quality.....not even very high) and so much talked about 4870 in crossfire X2 give an lol 30FPS on the same res (High quality only)

........and that is why I said keep Crysis away coz its an highly unoptimized game not because 8800 shows its incapability as a futureproof hardware because it cannot run crysis.......

Strange your statement is self contradictory........If you measure a GPU hardware on the scale of how quick it upgrades you would land up upgrading atleast 3,4 times in a year where as the fact is Gaming industry is not moving as fast as hardware.......anyhow its a known fact any game that gives 40+ fps would run as smooth on a current hardware as the one that would give say 70-100 fps on a your so called future hardware.....
Unless you dont want to play on insane res on a 30" LCD......
