Because, as of this exact moment, there is only one game out for it that I would like to purchase (Metal Gear Solid 4). I don't buy systems for future potential alone if I already have other platforms on which I can play games at the same time. The Wii is possibly an exception as I bought a Wii at launch because Zelda was out immediately and Zelda is reason enough for me to buy a new platform at $250. I didn't buy an Xbox 360 until there was a sufficient backlog of games on it that I would be able to stay busy with them until other future games came out (I played Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, and Mass Effect back to back and will pick up Lost Odyssey as soon as I have money).
If I purchased a PS3 at this exact moment, I'd buy and play MGS4, and then do absolutely nothing with it until White Knight Chronicles (is that what it's called?) comes out (possibly Little Big Planet). I'd rather wait until there are more games I want available for the platform and a possibility of me getting it cheaper.
