You can call it a smash attack. :S I never saw this side of Nintendo, usually it was always the competition I saw do that, but this is counter-measure eye-poppingly anticipative (especially monster hunter, how did they keep it secret so close to release? Announced Sept '11, Released Dec '11).

@NintendoPie. I also expect a Fall release. The template, engine and much of the art already exists for it. Hopefully they will use the remaining time to add some exciting innovations. I sure believe so. ;)

The Wii was deliberately launched on November 19th, 2006. Two days after the PS3. All the positive mainstream media press went to Nintendo.

Maybe that's why you think that many things about the Wii were mistakes, because you don't realize the magnitude of the things that Nintendo did right.

@bold. Quite possible.

@Wii launch. That's ... . Oh Rol. It's Chrsitmas season, and Nov is a trad year for Nintendo to release its consoles. The cube came out in NA on November 18th 2001. It has nothing to do with eclipsing Sony. Even the 64 came out in Sept 2006, which is in the typical fall season. It gives Ninty enough time to ramp up holiday sales on their console and ensure a solid base. But you didn't figure that one since in europe, the cube was launched on May 3rd 2002 and the N64 in March 1997, as Wikipedia tells me. Just wanted you to know.
