Industry analysts say that signs may point to an earlier than aniticipated release for Nintendo's next console.

CNN Money has an intriguing article up that hints toward an earlier than expected Nintendo Wii launch. An excerpt from the article:

"...Industry observers - and insiders - say they expect the system to be available in October, with late September a dark horse candidate...Indeed, the company appears to be already manufacturing final retail units of the Wii, according to a June 21st analyst's note from P.J. McNealy of American Technology Research."
