Black and red Wiis coming this year?
While moseying along the information superhighway, we came across this piece of news from GameDrift.com:
In a rather shocking revelation this weekend, an anonymous Nintendo rep revealed to GameDrift that a plan is running through the pipeline to colorize the, as of now, rather bland coloration of its hit console, Wii. The rep did not reveal detailed specifics, however did remark that a red and black console have been confirmed.
Nintendo has had a history of releasing color variants for their handheld systems, and fans have been eagerly awaiting news regarding this issue for some time now. While we still have some reservations on whether or not the “anonymous rep” guy is on the level or not (we don’t know how “confirmed” it is or not), the time frame that GameDrift mentions (“these rainbow Wiis are expected by the end of the year”) does seem plausible.
In a recent interview with Gamepro.com, Reggie Fils-Aime said that multi-colored Wiis may become a reality once Nintendo has met the current demand for the white Wii. Nintendo is posting some record numbers these days, and while demand for the console is still high, we think that Nintendo’s production speed might make the whole “end of the year” thing a definite possibility.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed, but let’s all just wait for more official word on this whole thing, eh?
