Nintendo's next generation video game console, the Wii, has been getting a lot of attention lately. The main reason of this is because there is a lot of speculation about it.
While Sony gave away all of the Playstation 3's secrets at E3 2006, Nintendo was more careful and only let out some minor details. The most important of which is the launch date for the small little console.
Many are saying that the Wii will launch as early as mid October, or even the start of October. While others are saying November 2, or the 12.
According to IGN, developers will have their games ready for October, and with the Wii's already in production, a launch at that time COULD happen, but will Nintendo want to launch then? Buy-Wii.net is saying that according to their research, the little white box will launch October 2. It is possible, because Nintendo did say that the Wii would launch in the 'Fourth Quarter' of the year, and it begins on October 1, one day before the speculated October launch date.
Kotaku is saying that November 3rd is the launch date, because on a sheet they found, it said that the next Need For Speed game will be launched on the third. It is possible because Nintendo wants to launch the Wii before the Playstation 3 comes out, and this would be exactly a week beforehand.

What do I say is most likely? I'm thinking a late October, a date they haven't mentioned. But November is the most likely, between the 2-12.
We should find out from the horse's mouth on August 24th when Nintendo will be holding a press conference in Germany.

Thanks for the mention of the site. The speculation surrounding the Wii launch is incredible, everyone thinks that they know someone on the inside that says a different date.
I'm considering not metioning anything else on my site in regards to launch until it's official by Nintendo. Too many rumors are confusing. lol
Thanks again. :)
