Go Nintendo has the story.
But do you agree that it might be too little too late? Do you think that people might be fed up of waiting and drop support altogether?
Discuss!

Why in April though? Can they not change production before then?

Well they could close down the GC lins and turn those into Wii lines now right? maybe thast all they are doing is finally killing of GC production.
I beleive they probably did that before the name was announced. I really doubt any GCN where actually produced after mid or even early 2006.

cool news. BTW i was in target this morning and saw my first real life PS3. They didnt have them last week. There may have been 2 left. Alas no revs. The rev section is loaded with games though. I didnt realize it had so many games already.
What's a rev?
I see PS3's in stores all the time now. Sony needs to get a system selling game really fast...actually, they need about 10 system selling games to try to justify the price.

April is a long way off, I still need a Wii, there's one is my house but sharing sucks. I'm sure as hell not going to lose interest, but other people may, but then a big game is going to be released that everyone is going to be talking about (gaming and non-gaming sites, magazines, and T.V stations, and regular (sort of) people). All Nintendo has to do to keep up the interest is to keep releasing talk generating games, like when they perfect the FPS(A) controls for Metriod Prime 3, and then tell other companies hey this is how you do it. Or when Super Mario Galaxy (Christmas?) becomes the game of the year. But most of all when Super Smash Brothers Brawl kills someone because they get addicted to it and forget to eat and/or go to the bathroom.

They don't manufacture the whole thing themselves, they just assemble it from components they buy from several different companies. Ramping up their production also means getting all those other companies to ramp up their production on their components.
If it was just a matter of assembling more Wiis they could probably do the ramp up in a week, but for a company like IBM to increase their capacity on Broadway CPUs is going to take a little more time...

Nah, IBM just tore apart all the unsold GameCubes.

Don't you make a thread like this like, every other week?
