I'm going to wait for a price drop. I don't really need one right now, so I'll just wait until the system and games drop to a more reasonable price for me. Plus, by doing so, I'll be able to avoid any games that I'd get suckered into buying at launch just because I wanted games for the new system.
There's just too many games that I know I want to play for systems I already own, so it doesn't make sense for me to spend my gaming money on a Wii right now.
Now, if mrs. shipwreck decides she wants to get me one for Christmas, I'd be fine with that.
