DigitalBattle is reporting that Nintendo is planning to ship 1 million Nintendo Wii consoles to the North American region for its official launch date. That number is extremely large and would dwarf any launches in recent history. Compared to Sony’s PS3, which launches two days earlier with a planned 400,000 console shipment, Nintendo his hoping to get a big lead on their rival by the end of the holiday season.
Nintendo will also be shipping well before Sony in Europe. The Wii is scheduled for a December launch in Europe with the PS3 coming in March 2007. It should be interesting to see if Nintendo can build a big enough lead to carve out a more significant share in the console market.
