I think most of us here are big enough Nintendo fans that it seems likely that many of us will have it on launch day. If not, because real life intervenes, most of those remaining will likely secure it that first week. Or first month?
If you're a younger one and don't have a job, perhaps you'll have to wait until Christmas. (Or Decemberween/Festivus/Kwanzaa/Hannukah/Xmas/etc.)
But if you're not going to be Wiiing like the rest of us by Christmas, what's your excuse?
(I have a 'net friend who's doing some Mormon (I think) thing, and it seems like, aside from his weekly email check, he has no contact with modern comforts and conveniences. He needs me to email him Wii news. He won't be able to play a Wii until April 2008. Religion is a valid excuse. But aside from that I can't think of any.)

No job, no money, no source of income.
That'd be the only reason I could think of.

...Although I guess if somebody taped a Wiimote to one of my stumps I could still play WiiMusic by hearing alone.

Now you said nothing about stealing the PS3...

Nintendo plans to roll out 6 million Wiis and I have an inkling that this will not be enough to sate demand.

However, I want to get a second one.
Why?
To have sex with it, of course.
So I really need $270.
I'm sure the sex will hold off the urge to pick up a few games, so I can make up for those later on.
Good thing my birthday is in September. Maybe I can swing that by my parents and friends.

But I'd eventually come down, then beat up, rape, kill, or utterly destroy whomever was necessary to obtain one.
So I guess nothing is going to stop me.

Edit:
Here is some light reading that I thought was relevant to this topic.
What would it take to NOT sell you a revolution?
What Nintendo Must avoid at the Wii Launch
Which Wii Games Has Nintendo Already Sold You On?
How soon after launch do you think you’ll be personally Wiiing?

18 very crappy old PS2 games I'd never play. We're talking Kengo, SSX, Haven, etc.
Additionally, went to a Rhino Games, found 3 new games for $2.50 (they are having some sort of clearance right now), so basically paid 8 bucks for them, took them to GS and they ended up trading for 24.75.
Combined with the 99.55 from the 18 games, that meant $125.
But I'm probably going to put that down toward both versions of Zelda and Contact. Then there's Super Paper Mario, which I am wet for.
Which still leaves the Wii...
So many choices...
Or I could just use it to get games during a B2G1 used sale.

It was the Wii that made me (or will make me i guess) do it. Not the weed.

I plan on reserving a Wii as soon as that's available. I may buy an extra one for the speculative market around Christmas.

-Lack of funds due to anime and holiday present buying tapping me out.
-I DO want a better TV than my LQ 1992 less than 20in one to play a Wii on. Or...exactly how to get the whole VGA thing working and get one of those for it since the Wii'll have to be in the same room as my PC since the Internet connection lives there.
-Something just goes terribly wrong with it all.

Would it not be possible to simply ask her to pleasure you en route a la "Vice city hooker".

Do they give gifts in Hanukkah and Kwanzaa? My ignorance of other holidays is appalling. I'll look them up on Wikipedia in a moment.

Oh, and Jews don't neccesarily get gifts past the first day...it's a pretty loose policy; presents aren't even the core part of the holiday (in my mind that is).
