Nintendo was suppose to announce the Wii U release date in a couple of weeks time at their conference but with many people working round one product, somethings is bound to slip up, well somebody did. PDP (Performance Designed Products) were talking about the accessories that were going to be included with the device and the presenter slipped on and said "expect to see all these accessories when the Wii U comes out on the 18th of november.
18th of novemeber is perfect for the revolutionary new system comes out. It's very close to thanks giving and what happens after thanks giving, Black Friday. If you cast your mind back to 2006 when the original Wii was released, That black friday was on reports the worst black friday ever. Since stocks of the Wii were terribly low, every was pushing and shoving and they wanted to guarntee that they got the wii that year. The stock was still very low a few days later and the price of them on ebay were going for £500-£1500. People were going crazy over this device and would pay over the odds to get it.
18th of november is also a sunday and Nintendo have been releasing their consoles on a sunday, With the original DS and the first Wii.
Update - Nintendo have come forth and they've said "To be clear, PDP has no knowledge whatsoever of the official Wii U release date, and thus it is not possible for PDP to have 'leaked' this information. PDP simply gave a presentation of our fall line of gaming accessories to our customers at a trade event in which we stated that our Wii U accessories would be there at launch. Later in the presentation, we stated that our Epic Mickey II accessories are currently planned to be in stores by November 18. PDP has no knowledge as to whether this is the official Wii U release date or not, and thus nothing was 'leaked'."
So Now people are expecting the Wii U to be announced at Nintendo's New York City Press Conference on September 13th
