Believable, because in IMO it's a good date., but probably false.I find it interesting that this date is exactly 6 years after the release of Wii.

EDIT: As KgGamesXL brought up, the folks at wiiublog.com strongly believe it to be fabricated: http://wiiublog.com/...aked-answer-no/

Could be true, but wait and see we must.

November is just too late to launch the Wii U. It needs to be out by early October, at least.

[KgGamesXL]

That could be true it would give them some time to get games ready but i agree with Jono fans have waited along time to get their hands on this.
Update it might be fake:http://wiiublog.com/...aked-answer-no/

This has to be fake because its just too predictable

[Nollog]

So because David says it might be fake you all believe him instead?
He knows as much as we do, he has no sources, what if Allison Wallace really does know some people?
Treat it as a rumour, there's no need to blog about it because she's taking your hits, David.

[Caius Casshern Sins]

Do any one else feel it is a bit early for retailers for info such as release date of a system.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Oh, but it's certainly not too early to have pre-orders available, right?

Not me, I just thought it was worth putting in my original post since this board is associated with his blog.

This should be taken with a grain boulder of salt...

[Chinomanila]

I doubt it, release date's change all the time.

Seems like a very believable release date.

EB Games put up pre-orders the moment the Wii U was announced.

[Rasvita]

I find this to be a believable date except for the part where it comes to Japan after North America. That doesn't really make sense to me, although I guess it is possible.

[Caius Casshern Sins]

The Wii actually launched in NA before Japan.

Ya, I thought I heard about some console doing that. I just wasn't sure which one and I still think the Wii U will be released in Japan first just because I declare it to be that way.

[Nin_Stream]

It will release on a weekday. I bet my life on it. If it launches November it would be the 16th (Friday) cause thats Miyamoto's birthday. However it could come as soon as October due to AC3 coming out Oct. 30th and it being on Wii U.

Yah but people should wait till E3 this year for a price announced. Pre-ordering now stores might charge you more just to make money. And you payed them more then needed. So my advice pre order day after E3.

Seems like a very believable release date.

Iwata already said they are doing a global launch. Nobody gets it first...well due to timezones a 1 day difference I guess.

They're aiming for a global release date.

A western launch first might actually make more sense these days, just cause home consoles are a lot less popular in Japan than over here.

But yeah this article might end up being true anyway. November always seems to be the sweet spot for release dates, and it allows them to have a bunch of the big multiplats that come out around then on day one. Wii U launching with 2012's CoD would be a very, very good thing.

[Auzzie Wingman]

It would, but I can see you getting steamrolled by some purists for this.

[Keviin]

Yeah I thought they were aiming for worldwide release but aside from that, it seems plausible. Well, it's almost certain that it will launch in November..
