One word to MonkeyMike--That is a Sony problem, not a Nintendo problem. Nintendo hardware never has noticeable defects, and very rarely (only once I believe) have they missed the projected launch window of a new console. I'd say it's going to launch for $199, as that number sounds like magic. $149 would be awesome, but just the number of 1-9-9 sounds more appealing in some way for me than 1-4-9. Either one would be a great price, though, and I'm going to hazard a guess that it will come bundled with Wii Sports. I think they once said that they would have 15-20 games at launch--at last year's E3 or something?
Xbox 360 and Wii will own the rap out of PS3, at least in North America, where the Wii will beat both of them. For those who don't think the 360 has great games: Oblivion, Call of Duty 2, GRAW, Fight Night, Table Tennis, Dead Rising(!), Dead or Alive 4, Prey--and don't forget that next month it'll have the best version of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, less than two months from now it'll have Gears of War, then Halo 3 next year. The Wii has (not necessarily launch games): Zelda, Metroid, Red Steel, Project HAMMER, Excite Truck, SUPER MARIO GALAXY(!!!!!!), an enhanced Far Cry, Elebits, Wii Sports, Wii Music, Trauma Centre, WarioWare, and many more PS3 has FFXIII, MGS4, and not a whole lot of others. The games look good, but nothing that would make me spend $600
