With the Wii taking the opposite approach I don't know how good of a strategy that truely is.
Actually one of the major delays is due to the Blu-ray drive in it. They couldn't get enough of the laser diode needed for the drive. The demand for PS3s is solely based on trying to re-sell them for a profit on eBay.

People actually seem to WANT to buy the Wii. I haven't bought a gaming system since SNES and I'm getting a Wii as soon as I can find one in Future Shop.

Best Buy in Northill had 3 this afternoon, but no accessories and just a few games. Unfortunately I've got $450 in FS gift cards that have been allocated to purchasing a Wii so I didn't buy them.
