EA replace their November 3rd date with a simple "Q4 2006", as they claim it was all a mistake...

There was a flurry of Internet activity and speculation after Electronic Arts listed a November 3rd release date for the Wii version of Need for Speed: Carbon in Europe. Could the date mean this was when the console would launch? Did that mean the console would launch before then elsewhere in the world? It seemed EA knew something we didn't, what with the PS3 version left with a "TBC" date while the Wii's seemed so definate.

However, the word from gaming site Eurogamer is that EA have now retracted the date, saying it was "put there by mistake". The title now has a simple Q4 release date instead.

Did EA let slip something Nintendo wanted kept under-wraps? Only time will tell.
