EXCLUSIVE: Do you think Wii will launch sooner than later?

This is the first exclusive Infendo community post asking whether you think the already shipped Wii processors by IBM (since July) suggest an earlier than expected release date? Me? I think the above is nothing more than IBM and Nintendo PR fluff. Expect motion-sensing goodness in mid November, mates.

  1. I gotta say, I don't think that guy is really working in that picture. =PAnyways, I'm saying Mid-Late October. But, that's what I always thought, even before this news.

  2. In my opinon, I think the Wii is already done. I also think some games are done. But Nintendo isn't saying anything until they're fully prepared.

  3. I really, really hop that we'll be getting the Wii as early as the beginning of October. This way, we can all kick school with our Wii, or shoot it with Samus's Missile Launcher…Although, in reality, I'm thinking November. I sure hope I'm wrong.

  4. I'm hoping for October .. maybe a month after the September press events. October 15th sounds reasonable.Since Nintendo claimed that Twilight Princess would be available at launch, the question to me is: Is TP waiting for Wii or is Wii waiting for TP?

  5. I still think it's totally plausible for them to ship in October. I think (hope) Nintendo is just waiting to blow us out of the water and sink Sony by coming forth and saying, "The Wii will cost $xxx and it is shipping to retailers today for a release date of next (insert time here)."Maybe I'm just getting my hopes up.

  6. Guys, it is just the CHIPS that have been shipped! There is a whole assembly/shipping/assembly/packaging/etc. process involved there that still needs to happen…October?? With the chips having just shipped, I think they are cutting it too close for the mid-November release!!I'm still hoping for November!

  7. I think late October or early November will be it. Such a date is early enough to get a number of large shipments around the globe before the holidays commence – but close enough to the PS3's launch to drain gamers' wallets a few weeks beforehand.I'm hoping for November; I need to give my boss lots of advance notice for the 10-day vacation I'm taking for Launch Day. My shift is pretty tough to fill.. 😀
