It may not be the most reliable magazine when it comes to next-gen consoles, and it may not be the most informative news piece when it comes to launch specifics, but an article in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids claims the launch date of the Wii to be November 6th.
The article, written by SI Kids’ Shawn Nicholls, outlines the new Wii controller mechanism, describing it to be a great way to play sports games with more realism. It states, “The new controller should be fun with sports games, where you can swing it like a bat instead of pressing buttons while you,re at the plate. Launch Date: November 6.”
Where did SIKids get this crucial bit of information? No one knows; however, similar launch date rumors have been floating around for some time. The launch date falls on the first Monday of the month and two weeks ahead of the PS3, giving the Wii quite a head start in the glorious race to console supremacy.
