IMO the PS3 is by far more powerful than the XBox 360, waiting an extra year would have caused the same problem: Developers needing to adjust their existing game engines to make use of the SPUs (the bulk of the system's power).
I think next christmas with more mature system software, free Home service, new games like Rachet and Clank future, Killzone, Lair, etc, new PS3 eye / microphone supporting games and hopefully a small price drop the PS3 will look a lot more attractive to many people.
