Nintendo Wii release date speculated to be October 2nd

Speculating and reading between the lines on Nintendo’s latest press release, Gaming Target has decoded the secret message and says that Nintendo Wii will launch on October 2nd.

Nintendo makes no reference to any Wii games or release information on this press release, but here is the reasoning behind the new speculated release date.

The fourth quarter begins on October 1. Now look at the list. At least one game is released every Monday in the fourth quarter except for the following dates: October 2, November 20 and November 27.

November 27 is after Black Friday, so it’s out. November 20 is after the launch of the PS3, so that’s out too. That leaves us with October 2.

The Wii will launch on October 2, you read it here first.

It seems unlikely that Nintendo will launch that early and still has not made any official announcements, but maybe they’ll surprise us. I’m still betting on a late October or early November release, but I couldn’t be happier if I were wrong.
