matthewf01 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 It has been confirmed Wii price etc.... http://wii.ign.com/articles/732/732669p1.html NO this is not yet confirmed; IGN is also referencing the Seattle Pi article who in turn was referencing NYT. Dont say anything is 'CONFIRMED' until NINTENDO SAYS IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Gotta love how the internet works eh :p Yeah, they also repeatedly refer back to NYT. Thats a clear way to put all the blame on some one else when you are unsure of the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlogank Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 someone pointed out something fishy about the news thing, Nov 19th is a SUNDAY, no console will ever be released on a sunday (well until now...) Umm...you have no clue what you are talking about. Pretty much every Nintendo console since the N64 has been released on a Sunday...including the DS and the DSLite. Please, research before you speak.

American Ninja Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 All are pointing back to the same article. :unsure: If regurgitating link equals confirmed then yes confirmed. :rofl: Yes it is confirmed. IGN and GameSpot posted the same thing. Why would they post it if it wasnt true? :rolleyes: Wii Price, Launch Date Revealed The news we've all been waiting for. by Kathleen Sanders and Matt Casamassina September 13, 2006 - Nintendo fans finally have a price and release date for the company's new generation console, Wii. The Big N is set to officially announce that the system will hit retail in North and South America for $250 on November 19. The New York Times broke an embargo and published the information even before news hit out of Japan. Nintendo's Wii console will come packaged with Wii Sports, a compilation sports game that best shows off the mechanics of the system's unique controller. Wii Sports features tennis, baseball, golf and a previously unannounced bowling game. Nintendo said it would provide Wii owners with more than 25 unique games this year. Wii's much talked-about Virtual Console download service, which enables gamers to purchase classic games, will offer a library of some 30 titles when the system launches. Titles will include entries from the Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong franchises, Nintendo said. Virtual Console games will cost between $5 and $10 each. The Big N confirmed that it would charge $50 for its new Wii games, which is $10 cheaper than the cost of standard Xbox 360 titles. In a surprise announcement, Nintendo said that it wanted to make Wii a living room centerpiece by shipping the system with features outside of the videogame realm. Wil will include a photo channel, enabling users to display their digital photos through the console. It will also boast regularly updated news and weather channels. In addition, the system will ship with the Opera Web browser, enabling users to connect online. Sony recently announced that it would ready 400,000 PS3s in North America and another 100,000 in Japan for the system's launch. Nintendo said it plans to ship 4 million Wii units worldwide by the end of the year. Source: http://wii.ign.com/articles/732/732669p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The thing is, the source is credible. But there is only 1 source, which gives those sites reason to believe it's probably correct. But by no means is it actually "confirmed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlogank Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Yes it is confirmed. IGN and GameSpot posted the same thing. Why would they post it if it wasnt true? :rolleyes: the same reason everyone posted that the conference would start @ 9:00PM EDT...guess what, they all got their info from the same place and claimed it to be theirs...and they were all wrong. This is the same type of thing happening...rather they are wrong or not, it's all coming from the same place without any OFFICIAL confirmation from nintendo.
