Buried at the bottom of an article about the DS shortage in Japan:
Iwata said that unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo doesn't plan to release the Revolution globally at the same time.
"We don't think it's necessary to do the simultaneous worldwide launch simply because others are doing this," he said.

I reckon they could pump out tons of rev's, they could just under supply in usa, europe and aus... and make the most go to japan
with biweekly shipments to outside japan

Yes, yes yes and wholehearted yes. And for those in europe inflated prices. And for those in the UK, even more inflated prices soup. Inflating all around.

and by "world wide launch" I thought they meant all territories(that matter, sorry AUS j/k) within a 3-4 month span.

That does make a lot of sense.
And it's just better overall if we actually receive the right number of units instead of mucking about in shortages until the PS3 arrives.

However I would like to see Nintendo to step their game up in Australia otherwise they may as well not launch the Revolution here at all. Im pretty sure the majority of Australian's will either buy a PS3 or X360 unless Nintendo can market the Revolution here more aggressively. Suprisingly im noticing that even the DS is getting shunned on retail store shelves with the games being moved to the back of stores and/or behind poles whilst the PSP's movies are at the front of the store.
Australia needs more love from Nintendo not neglect!

It really depends on when the games are done and ready.
If Nintendo gets only one or two games ready then I see them launching first in Japan (Around August or September) then US around October November and Europe in December.
If more America friendly games are ready...or if Smash Brothers Melee and Metroid Prime 3 are ready early then I completely see Revolution being released in America first around August or September.

NoE: We think a worldwide launch is a definite possibility!
