You do know they begin making games before the console is released, right? They have to so that there are games to be played on the thing when it comes out. Brawl was originally going to be a launch title (like Melee was for GC), but they didn't have it done in time. Sure enough after that first delay, they delayed it again and again until it finally came out in 2008.
