Worst case scenario he waits 6 months and gets to choose the best system. If he chooses 360 it will be if anything cheaper as MS heads to undermine PS3's market penertration.
I bet you fifty bucks that by 2008 most developers will have switched over to the 360 once they realize nobody wants to play on a system that costs 600 dollars, with Japanese developers alternating between the Wii and the 360. I absolutely guarantee it.

Hell, I'll go even further and wager that Final Fantasy XIV and Dragon Quest IX are developed for the Wii.
