Nintendo: Yup, Revolution still coming this year
We've actually lost count how many times Nintendo has confirmed that the Revolution will launch in the year 2006, a fact which seems to indicate some sort of vaporware paranoia (as well as our very poor counting skills). As Punch Jump reports, Laurent Fischer, senior marketing director at Nintendo of Europe has once again reassured everyone that the Revolution will really, really, be available across the globe within the next 11 months.
Of course, when it's also reiterated that Nintendo plans to launch the console in Japan, America and Europe within the space of a few weeks, "availability" suddenly becomes a touchy subject. If that is indeed Nintendo's goal, they'd better be ready to meet the demand or risk falling into a similar situation now faced by a rival console.
