While Nintendo has not made any formal announcements about the launch date for the Wii, most of the industry has expected the machine to hit retail at approximately the same time as Sony's PlayStation 3 (which is set for November 17). Now, industry observers - and insiders - say they expect the system to be available in October, with late September a dark horse candidate.

Indeed, the company appears to be already manufacturing final retail units of the Wii, according to a June 21st analyst's note from P.J. McNealy of American Technology Research.

Excellent. Nintendo could have a lot of systems in circulation, a better launch than the 360 or PS3 had/will have.

Nintendo has a long history of release delays. That's all I'm sayin.

yea which i appreciate... id rather get it a month late and have a well put together system, then have it come out early and have to deal with over heating, disk read errors, and the red ring of death.
