Nintendo has underlined that it will ready six million Wii hardware units for the console’s launch period, confirming off the record briefings to retailers during the latter part of last week.

“The company plans to ship six million systems to retailers around the world between its launch in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the end of its fiscal year on March 31, 2007,” said Nintendo in a statement to shareholders. The company also confirmed the pricepoints mooted of late.

“Following its overwhelming debut at E3 2006, Nintendo today announced the current fiscal year unit shipment forecast for its new home game system, Wii. Nintendo also confirmed that the price of the Wii system, which incorporates unique freehand control, will not exceed $250 in America, or 25,000 yen in Japan.”
