Nintendo appears to have a pretty damn big beginning of 08 lineup with Wii Fit, Smash Bros Brawl, and Mario Kart all lined up. Two of those games are historically bigger sellers than Metal Gear, and brawl is likely to appeal to many of the same people (especially now that snake is in it).
It could be that it's being pushed back to try not to get overwhelmed upon release.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
