On hand for the festivities at the launch was Nintendo of America senior vice president of marketing George Harrison, who briefly stepped behind the counter at the EB Games store to help sell the first Wii console. When asked about how production has gone for the first batch of Wii consoles, Harrison was upbeat, saying the company is still on target to have 4 million units available worldwide by the end of the year. "It's the first time we've actually launched in all territories at the same time. [In the past] Europe was usually a few months later, but Europe is also launching, as well."
Europe generally on the 8th December... in Switzerland the release date is the 7th, because 8th is a (catholic) holiday (also in Austria, Italy and others, but it's not quite sure if it will be released on 9th or on 7th :S).
