Today, a Nintendo official announced the price and date that the new Nintendo Wii console will appear in Japanese shops. Have you got your diary out? Priced at 25,000 yen ($213/£113), it will be released on 2nd December. This price is less than half of its Sony rival, the Playstation 3, which is due for release 11th November. Nintendo also say that they aim to ship 6 million units before March 2007. So if you’re not into video games, the holiday season could be a lonesome one, as the couch is now reserved by your partner or children!

Also, wii.com, the official Nintendo Wii site, has launched.
