I think Nehalem will hit the ground running. I'd be surprised to see bugs and glitches considering how long Intel has been validating them. Sales are starting to slow down because the US crappy economy starting to affect others or so went a story on CNBC. RAM and Board prices will affect Nehalem sales. Intel will be Intel's stiffest competition. Cheap DDR2, Q9300 & Q9450 with $100 to 150 boards will make buying Nehalem a tuff choice for many who aren't so "Xtreme".

Again, the price of DDR3 will fall once it becomes mainstream and right now it is NOT!
