I wouldn't be so sure...

You don't think that Wii sales will slow down once the Playstation hits 300$? You do realize, the Wii trend (of sell outs) is running out of steam.
Imagine you're 12 years old and you woke up on christmas morning 2007, all excited to see what Santa left you under the tree. You see it immediatly, a huge box wrapped in thin wrapping paper, as excited as you have ever been in you life, and you excitedly tear away the packagaing...
and you find a PS3 buried in the wrapping paper instead of a 360 or a Wii.
Think about it. You would seriously be the most depressed kid ever. All your friends would have gotten Wii's and 360's are playing Super Mario Galaxy and Halo 3 and actually having fun with their game consoles. Meanwhile, you're sitting in front of the TV watching Ratatouille for the 5th time (except this time it's in HD) trying to fight back bitter, bitter tears of disappointment.
Do you have no soul? Do you hate video games? Do you hate 12 year old kids? Do you?
I hope it slows down just a little. I don't want to have to camp out in front of Toys R us at 4 in the morning at 25 below to get a Wii.
I want one, but I'm not willing to get frostbite for it.
And Alexmax makes a good point. There's not too much point in getting a PS3 at the moment, seeing as how there aren't that many good games for it.
I must say I was really disappointed when I heard about the delay. However, at least it's only a month. Remember, some games get pushed back several months to A YEAR OR MORE. So lets just be happy its not too much of a delay. :D
I dunno, that whole PS3 grill thing is pretty rad.
Also, as far as information-wise about Brawl, no biggie. Its still getting released in Japan in a handful of days, so all the l33t haxx0rz with sour cream and onion modchips will just overload gamefaqs with info. Then everyone will be like "Why the fuck is there a Twisted Metal trophy?" or whatever.
Also, March 9th is a Sunday. I don't work Sundays or Mondays. I win. [actually I won back when I reserved this badboy, but still]
While I agree I think the 360 is the better platform, you can't deny there is a huge Playstation fanboy group. They still want PS3 but can't yet afford it. Really guys, I'm not kidding, there ARE games to PLAY on PS3. Now I know none of you would know that, but trust me there are.
With Wii, you can't possibly think the sell-outs will continue for a full year or more from now. What does Wii have coming that's going to be so amazing this year? The only games I'm aware of are Mario Kart and SSBB that are anywhere soon. Really, when the price gap closes things should change. Or when the people that all wanted Wiis get them, or the people that are buying them for ebay stop getting enough profit from selling them.
The bubble will burst at some point.
