With speculation that Nintendo will announce the console's launch dates in September, some reports suggest a Wii launch the following month...
Since Sony announced the release dates for PlayStation3 back at E3 2006 there's been rampant speculation as to when Nintendo would make a similar statement about the Wii. Whilst we know that the console will be making its way onto shop shelves sometime in the fourth quarter of 2006, the exact date remains a mystery.
For many it would seem likely that the Wii will be released around the same time frame as the PlayStation3, enabling what is expected to be a massive price difference to make Nintendo's console stand out from the crowd. However, CNN Money has reported on statements coming from American Technology Research's legendary analyst P. J. McNealy that the Wii could be released as early as October...
If the time frame in the report proves to be accurate then the Wii could get anything up to a six week head start on Sony's next-gen console, with US gamers in particular likely to benefit from the extra time ahead of the all-important Thanksgiving holidays.
Of course, this continues to remain speculative until the Big N decides to make its move; we'll just have to wait and see what they say come September.
We'll have more news shortly...

It doesn't matter how good the Wii console is, all the games are rubbish.
family bowling
Family fishing
Family execise
Family necrophilia
There is no point improving the console unless they sort the games out

Yeah, apparently Ninty are working on a new console with graphics to match PS3/60, and motion controllers/games are being created by PS3/60, so its all gonna be good in the end eh! :)

I really would like to see a Nintendo console with HD support. It's the standard, they really do need to catch up.

What Bing popups - are you on about MS search engine? If you're on about the textual ads, just avoid hovering your cursor above em - simple.
Information doesn't drop from the trees I'm afraid...

Just outputting to HD won't be enough - there will have to be increases to the Wii's GPU and memory to make the visuals look sufficiently better. the Wii HD is just a pipedream invented by an anlyst that doesn't actually get that many things right...
