According to gaming site CVG, trade mag MCV states that a launch date of November 24th and price of £149 ($278 in American money) are fact. Lisa Foster, Managing Editor of MCV, is without fear in backing up this reported date and price, stating that they "are very confident about the story, especially the price and that Nintendo Wii will launch in the week ending November 24." In doing the responsible journalism thing, CVG contacted several industry insiders who commented that while the price did seem right, the launch date was way off. Right about now, it'd be great if we said that these insiders were commenting that the launch date was a lot later than they would have thought, instead they said that it was an early figure. Most stated that a December release seemed more realistic.
CVG contacted Nintendo as well, but had yet to hear back from them before the deadline for publishing the story.
