If you haven’t already heard, the grapevine has it that Nintendo Wii will launch on November 6, this according to Sports Illustrated for Kids (pictured). Would Nintendo really break its launch date to a kids’ sports mag? My guess is this is speculative. Thoughts? [Thanks to all that sent this in]

I think it's simply assumed by the writer. If not that then maybe they didn't get a strong source and thought it was on the 6th of November.
I'm guessing they are just taking the rumored date and reporting it as the true date. I suspect it will be Nov 6th though. I doubt anybody knows the date as of date. Maybe even the folks at Nintendo don't know when they want to release it.
I think you can take that date as Nintendo's current plan. Industry scuttlebutt has had that date unoffically marked based on whispers from Nintendo for a bit now; and no, I'm not talking blogs and fan sites like this, but actual employees of related companies.My guess is, this reporter didn't know what was on/off the record. Unless something changes in a drastic manner, I think you can bank on Nov. 6 pretty accurately.
A couple weeks ago a friend of mine went into Gamestop. He tried to reserve Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii, but was told it doesn't have a release date yet. Then he asked about Red Steel, they said "Sure you can reserve it, it comes out very early November."Add that to the fact that Red Steel is a Wii launch title, new games/systems usually come out on Mondays, and November 6th is a Monday, I think this has grounds of being fact.
god dammit!my birthday is on a monday!?
