Is the Wii ready to fall straight into hungry consumers hand's?
Well an unknown message board forum member seem's to think so.
A forum poster of the Ign Wii boards who goes by the alias 'Jawabreaker', claims that a Nintendo rep from the American chain 'Best Buy' accidentally let slip that the actual Wii hardware is in-fact complete, and that Nintendo are currently stockpiling them into warehouse's as we speak.
Now as a few of you will remember, a couple of months ago the image at the top of this article appeared, courtesy of a Nintendo promotional booklet that I believe was given away to students in Japan. It showed plenty of actual Wii units or possibly shells that had been manufactured.
If it is a case of the units actually being ready for consumers to purchase. Nintendo could find itself in a prime position against its arch enemy Sony who isn't expected to launch its PlayStation 3 console until November…

It’s wild looking back at the pre-Wii hype. The idea of Nintendo stockpiling units in warehouses while Sony was still gearing up for the PS3 launch is a great piece of gaming history. The Wii ended up being a massive success, and it’s interesting to see how the momentum was building even back then.
Sometimes in gaming — whether it’s console launches or tackling a difficult challenge — you just want to skip the headaches and get straight to the good parts. https://wowvendor.com/shop/wow/venomous-abyss-boost/ the venomous abyss boost — clean, simple, and no waiting required.
