No PS3: A Good Thing?

I was excited about the PS3 launch and wanted to pick one up on the day of release, but never waited in huge lines and wasted all that time trying to get one.  I am definitely not regretting it either.  The PS3 is getting a lot of bad press as of late.  It still only has one, maybe two, games that I would have even considered buying for it.  And I am guessing it is not totally technologically sound.  I predict huge firmware issues and other "bugs" that will need to be worked out.  I am in no huge hurry to acquire one now, but don't get me wrong; I still want one.  I would like to imagine that by the time they are readily available, they will be working properly (debugged) and have a large selection on games that aren't crap.  The PS3 has potential.  It has a large amount of potential, untapped, seething, and ready to be unleashed by a developer who knows what a PS3 can really do (Assassin's Creed?).  I want to believe that its just a really slow start.  I keep thinking that by the time I get a PS3, I will be able to pick up some of the older games for cheap.

On other news, this is almost a good thing for me personally.  It allows me more time to invest into playing what I have and into finding a Wii.  Honestly, the longer I wait to pick up a Wii, the cheaper their games will be too.  So when I pick up Trauma Center: Second Opinion and suck at it, I will have only paid $30 instead of $50.  I don't have the hands of a surgeon, so to speak.  Although, the only games I want for the Wii are Zelda and Trauma Center right now, but it shows a lot of promise.

I want a Wii before it snows.  I don't go outside when it snows.  I hate snow.  It is evil.  I hate the cold too.  I want to play video games all winter.  It should at least give me some time to catch up.

I am far behind, this is what I have on my "want to beat" list:

Wind Waker (working on it)

Dragon Quest 8 (LOTS to go)

Baton Kaitos (Stuck at "infamous" battle)

Kingdom Hearts (though not really a big fan)

Skies of Arcadia (own, but never played)

Baton Kaitos: Origins (don't own; pick it up if I find time)

There is probably something else I am forgetting, too.
