BetaNews | Wii Launches Nov. 19 in US, Dec. 2 in Japan

The much anticipated next-generation gaming console from Nintendo entitled Nintendo Wii will be released November 19 for an initial price of $250 USD. Nintendo's bold strategy to redefine the video game experience extends beyond the "Wii-mote" and the free online gaming. The price of the console is starting $50 less than the Xbox 360 Core system and may be half of the cost of Playstation 3 whenever Sony gets their act together. The launching of the Nintendo Wii may change the whole landscape of the gaming industry and with it whole new demographics of players.
