Ever since the 3800 series, AMD has always had this in its favor: scalability. AMD's boards and chips are cheaper to make, therefore cheaper to buy/sell, and therefore more scalable in terms of price. It's not as versatile as avoiding three GPUs, but AMD is not absent at the high end, far from it, it just competes in a different way.
Using that logic, we would have to increase the price of the AMD solution to be in-line. 6990 + 6970 would cost $200 less, and 6990 CrossFire would cost $200 more. Depending on which side of the spectrum you lean you would be comparing against one of those setups. Which would win?
I wonder how this would change if they reviewed the 3gb versions of the gtx 580
