Speaking during a shareholder’s meeting on Wednesday, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said that the Revolution might not be released until after the PlayStation 3 hits in Spring 2006. When answering a question about Nintendo possibly lagging behind Sony and Microsoft in entering the next-generation battle, Iwata said: “There is no possibility that the Revolution’s launch will fall behind by too much, but there might be some small changes [in its release schedule].”
A launch after Spring 2006 could see the console released a year or more after Microsoft’s Xbox 360 hits retail – which is expected to arrive this November in North America and Europe. However, the Revolution is expected to retail at a much lower price than the 360 and PS3, possibly giving it a good chance of success if it launches during winter 2006.
