Look stupid yes, but often doesn't hurt the bottom line. How many times has Microsoft announced things with dates and failed to deliver??? Lots.... How many times have the announced things and delivered with the first planned date? It can be part of a marketting strategy, to keep potential customers waiting it out for you to get your release out instead of purchasing someone else's product...
Don't get a 360 or wii, we will have games for the PS3 soon... Trust us... you just have to wait a little longer... Then come March, they can push it out a couple of more months, etc...
(Actually I trust that they will likely reach those numbers. Sony is a little more honest than Microsoft. I would be more worried, because they haven't been previously hyped, that they are going to be half completed projects that the developers don't want to put much more money in, so they can switch development dollars for next fiscal year to the wii...)
