Wii/Wii U

[Mic_128]

Less than $300.

 

[RaRaRachael]

eh. thats not too bad. thanks MicFox :D and im assuming theyll be hear around XMas time?

 

[Zink]

Early November or even late October.

 

[Vulpine51]

Less than $300.

The big N said somthing about it being under $250. Im not saying you're wrong cause anything under $250 is under $300 , but under $250 just sounds better. Im banking that Nintendo would bring the price as low as $200. That would seriously make my day.

This goes to RaRaRachel; Nin said somthing about releasing the price and release date around September just thought you'd like to know.

I believe that revo will be out in October,heres why:

1. THQ’s Spongebob is scheduled for October (in Germany?)
2. Midway’s Blitz: The League is scheduled for October
3. Announcement of launch will be available by September, giving enough time to hype the Wii for October
4. NEC will be shipping out LSI chips in September to have Nintendo prepare shipments for the Wii
5. Iwata mentioned that he wants to get the system shipped out before Thanksgiving
6. Nintendo confirmed a Q4-2006 release date
7. Distribution industry expert received information about two Wii titles releasing on October 18th
8. Kotaku reported that an insider gave info about an October launch
9. Game Crazy Master Schedule showed titles releasing in October
10. Gamestop has a schedule for a launch in October
11. A Nintendo employee spilled info of Nintendo’s plan to launch in October according to revogaming.net
12. Red Steel’s launch date in Europe is November 30th, Europe being usually last to receive consoles suggests that an October US launch is possible since Nintendo plans a less-then-14wk launch.
13. An IGN podcast mentioned an October launch
14. October 18th was the birth of the NES in the US
15. From a marketing point of view, it seems that a launch in October could give Nintendo an advantage by making the system available a month before PS3. That is if the current momentum continues, they could successfully sell out on the Wii during the month and continue to build hype for a Thanksgiving ’second shipout’.

Can i have some good rep????????

 

[Vulpine51]

Thanks GM!

 

[Zink]

Holy shnickies that's a lot of stuff! In fact maybe it should be added to the title page!

 

[The Great Marth]

Some of it has probly already been posted but i thought it would be kinda good to know that alot of it is now in one post vs spread out all over the place.

 

[blaksheap82]

Holy crap, that is a lot! How did I not even hear about the NFS, I love NFS. I still never got MW though, I always figured I could just play it on the Wii, and then hardly had time to play games and eventually forgot, but I might go for this instead. (Wierd name, though, yeah I get it like carbon fiber, but it's still a wierd name.) Btw, those Mercury games would be instantly better with the Wiimote, especially if it's as intuitive as it supposedly is.

 

[Pit 42]

Doesn't matter to me when it comes out or how much it is, it's cool, it looks like it has awesome games, and I'm gettin' me one for Christmas.

 

[Zink]

It'll be out way before Christmas.

 

[RaRaRachael]

Early November or even late October.

Thank you very much Zink :D

 

[Nightmare KoRn Kid]

I'd stick with "around thanksgiving" as a time period.

I like the flexibility of it. Until a solid release of information, don't base your knowledge on specualtion, or get to hyped up.

I for one, reguardless of release day, will be buying this console day one. Copping school, job, friends, Rachael, anything... >.>

[Mic_128]

Remember how 360 games were for sale a few weeks before the actual console was?

 

[The Great Marth]

^Your jealous.....If you came to this thread alot you would know that i dont claim ANYTHING as my own.i never took credit for it, i believe what was said about the october release on codenamerevolution.com, thats all. and if you fell for thinking that i put all this together from me own head, your not to smart either.. all the info i ever tell yous guys comes from websites from some where on the net. there is no way i can make all that stuff up on me own.

actually, you said that these reasons are why you think the wii has an october release. You didn't exactly site a source. I'm not the author of practically every third post like you are, so i'd say i don't spend enough time to pay attention to your overall posting content. In an english paper its called plagarism if you don't cite information. By not citing it, you claim it as your own. I'm not stupid, i'm just pointing out that by not saying where you got that list , or at least saying "i found this list which i agree with", you claim it as your own regardless of your intentions.

1st of all: your younger than me, so respect your elders little man.

2nd of all: SWF and internet is not an english paper, so go away, you have nothing to say.

3rd of all: NFS:C vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTyqOxr5ADQ

 

[Chill]

Great Marth, he hasn't shown any disrespect. ChaRed, is right. If you have list of info and say 'this is why I think Wii will launch' it makes it seem like you compiled the info yourself. You should have said 'I got this list from X website and I agree with it'.

All you have to do is credit your sources in the future to avoid misunderstandings.

All the games that GameStop said will be released in October/November..........GameCrazy says they will be released in December..........except for Madden NFL 07 which is said(from Gamecrazy) to be released in september.....This wierd.....what do any of you guys think?

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

games being realeased in september is odd.

but games are often released before the system, so october and november release dates(especially Nov. because the wii is guaranteed to release before thanksgiving) aren't an indication of early release. no need for the excessive ?????. the other points CNR came up with make more sense.

 

[Osco316]

Hey guys, here's a tip:

If you're going to insult each other about being stupid (and if you continue to, I will warn you), try to type properly. You know, like using capital letters and the proper forms of words (you're not your). It gives you a little more credibility and makes you seem less stupid.

 

[Chill]

Osco saves the day!

 

[Paranoid_Android]

... and makes you seem less stupid.

But stupid, nonetheless, because you're arguing on a forum.

 

[Dodongo]

I wonder if you got warned for that.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

If you're going to insult each other about being stupid (and if you continue to, I will warn you), try to type properly. You know, like using capital letters and the proper forms of words (you're not your). It gives you a little more credibility and makes you seem less stupid.

I assume you're talking to him, because I never insulted him(except for the bad rep i gave him after his second response to me) and I think I have proper english.(although i often forget to capitalize i's online). I may have been a bit forward, but the entire content of my posts is just telling him to credit his sources, otherwise it looks as if he is claimingthe information as his own. Then he called me stupid.

He's two years older than me? Well, they do say that the brain starts shrinking close to his age..(couldn't resist that).


also:

Nintendo of Japan released an exhaustive four-page interview with Nintendo's top developers and executives regarding corporate management policies and plans for the future of both DS Lite and Wii. The Wiire found several points of interest, but encourages our readers to see the Web page on other facts emphasized since past interviews.

According to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, a launch date and price will more than likely surface in or before September. Wii will be launched between October and December of this year as scheduled, though there is no indication as to whether or not Nintendo plans to lose any profit with the final price.

"Some people somehow think that hardware always loses money," said Iwata. "Nintendo is taking some distance away from that approach. If you ask me, 'Will Wii be sold at or over the cost?', I cannot tell today if we won't lose even one yen by selling one Wii hardware. However, we do not intend to lose a great deal of money from the hardware sales. Any loss must be recovered elsewhere, of course."

Iwata also reassured that Wii is moving at a faster pace than the GameCube's admitted failure to launch with a solid lineup. "To avoid repeating this with Wii, we have been intensifying the software development, both internally at Nintendo and at developers outside the company, in order to prepare aggressive software lineup for Wii at and after the launch."

Speaking on the launch numbers for the Wii, Iwata said, "we announced that we are planning to ship 6 million Wii hardware during this fiscal year and, among them, we are intending to ship 4 million or more by the end of this calendar year, and we are preparing to make the productions." In an interesting twist, Iwata added, "If we can ship this number and if no product shortage will be experienced anywhere in the world, it can be regarded as a failure for a new game machine's launch. In other words, we will be making efforts to keep the constant shipment to the markets so that severe shortage situation will not go on for a long time."

Finally, Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the Mario and Zelda franchises, also announced a new franchise in development. "I am doing something lately, but I think I need to refrain from talking about it today. Hopefully, I can tell you what it is in 6 months or so." Miyamoto has recently been known for taking at-home activities such as playing with his dog and gardening into new franchises, Nintendogs and Pikmin, respectively. Miyamoto noted his experiences as an at-home father with his new cat and lizard, "but these are not the decisive factors for me to think about next games."

Source: The Wiire

One interesting thing is that although Iwata recently announced the the announcemtn date of the launch date and price, he is now saying that he expects the price and launch date to become known before that date. Either he assumes that it will get leaked somehow(which is unlikely, since nintendo is very good at keeping product info under wraps) or he knows(hint hint) that it will be leaked.

As for Shiggy's new franchise, we'll find out in six months, so mark your calanders for a midwinter announcement. Although i have to say, i'm intrigued about his description of the lizard and so forth, even if that won't come into play in the game. Games like Pikmin and Katamari Damacy tickle your brain in a weird way, hoping this one does too.

 

[Zink]

I liked that little comment about expecting hardware shortages. Them's fightin words. They're saying it'll be SO popular all they can do is lessen the blow of shortages. That's a bit rich IMO but it'll tick off Microsoft.

 

[Mic_128]

Why? ANY new console has shortages at launch.

 

[Cashed]

Yeah, new consoles always have shortages. Were you trying to say that the 360 didn't have a shortage in Japan so it should be regarded as a failure by Microsoft?

 

[The Great Marth]

the 360 in japan IS a failure.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

its not a complete failure, but on average the PS2 still sells about 25-30 times as much in japan than the 360. In fact, the cube still sells about as many units per week as the 360.

 

[Paranoid_Android]

Shouldn't pre-ordering stop you from being short-handed by shortages?

 

[Osco316]

Not everyone who buys a new console pre-orders it. Also, the amount of consoles they can actually produce in time for launch day would affect shortages. I remember when the Cube first out, I waited a few days to buy it and had a hard time finding a store that had a black one. Look at what happened with the 360, you had a whole ****load of people not pre-order and just try to get one at midnight.

 

[Cyphus]

well..i waited in line 10 hours to be the first one in my city to get a gamecube........but i wasted my time, cuz they never sold out here.
