| Yet another launch date rumor with photo. |
French retailer FNAC has been posting signs in their stores, indicating that the Wii U will launch in Europe on December 7th, and retail for 349 Euros, which is the equivalent of 275 British pounds, or 440 U.S. dollars. French website Jeuxactu were the ones who first reported this, and they have supplied a photo to go along with the story. Thanks to Google Translate, we have a decent...er...understandable English translation:
"Nintendo kept secret by a curiously quiet until now, the price and release date of the Wii U come to be formalized by the retail chain FNAC. Since a few hours, all signs appear throughout Paris that the Wii U will be available December 7, 2012 at a price of €349 / £275 / $440. Information confirmed by the photo below, but also through our discussion with one of the sellers store FNAC Montparnasse. This told us that consumers can already pre-order the machine shops but also on the shopping site of FNAC, which also lists the first games for the price of €69.90 / £55 / $88. A high price that many find, whether console or games, but it seems that it is the price to pay to get this new machine comes with its tablet GamePad and a scart cable."
I would like to emphasize that nothing has been officially confirmed, and this is merely the latest rumor that it is making its way around the Internet. Nintendo is expected to reveal the official launch date and price of the console at their PR event in New York City on September 13th, and all I can say is, that date can't some soon enough.
