Wii delayed in Europe until March??? - Sep 15, 2006 05:33
What the fuck?!


According to the Argos website — probably best described as a sort of UK and Irish Wal-Mart where you order everything by catalogue and then sit on your ass for half an hour, waiting for it to emerge from the warehouse — the Wii release date is going to be March, 2007.

Just a few days ago, though, the banner apparently read ' Winter, 2006' .

Before panic commences for us Euro-types, this is really the equivalent of any retailer' s random prediction for console or game release dates: highly suspect.

What makes Argos' speculation so troubling is it comes a mere 16 hours before the UK Nintendo presser, when the Wii' s Europe launch date and price will be announced. Worse yet, it essentially mirrors the disappointment gamers got earlier this month when it was announced that the PS3 would be delayed in Europe for an additional 4 months.

As soon as we hear one way or another on this rumor, we' ll let you know. If true, though, man... Microsoft' s just going to own Europe this Sinterklaas. Florian Eckhardt

This would be handing Europe to Microsoft on a silver platter.

I guess we' ll know for sure tomorrow morning.

No - that' s 99% bullshit - they know that launching DS in Europe before PSP meant a lot and they know it' s a smart move , also they have said they will do it and they have enough consoles.

If they say that it' s march , then I' m getting a 360 - I' m almost done with current gen.
