Wii: Release and Information

[Edymion]

Later than expected, but I can certainly live with it.

Nintendo announced, today September 9th of 2006, that their latest system, the Fifth Generation Nintendo Entertainment System, or Wii, will launch, promply, on November 19th of 2006 in the United States. The price-point for US launch will be 250 USD, which actually translates higher than the expected Japanese launch two weeks later. Of little surprise, Nintendo is beating Sony out the front gate.

On tope of that, Nintendo is releaseing 60 total titles at launch! That's 30 new and 30 retro titles available for the purchaser at the date of launch. These numbers are higher than any other system at launch, and the support is resounding! At least three companies have five (EA, Activision, and Ubisoft) or more titles ready for the US launch.
