Sony announced that its forthcoming PlayStation 3 console would debut worldwide on November 17 of this year, Nintendo was much vaguer about its new generation Wii console, choosing only to say that it would be less expensive than competitors and would arrive around the globe sometime in the “fourth quarter.”

Despite what the Nintendo has said publicly, publishers and developers have prepping many of their Wii titles for an October release. , this week industry sources have relayed that - in something of a surprise attack — “Nintendo is planning to launch Wii before PlayStation 3.” The latest word jives with publisher release calendars, whose Wii titles are scheduled in many cases for a mid-to-late October debut or, in some cases, very early November.

A two-to-three week headstart on PS3 could give the significantly cheaper Wii an even greater advantage.
