Wii to drop 6th November in US ?

US site Cubed3 are reporting that the Nintendo Wii will be released on 6th November on the other side of the pond. The story apparently comes from an "industry insider" and we wouldn't normally give credence to a story like this if wasn't for the fact that American magazine Sports Illustrated for kids have also printed the same date, so either they're making it up or somebody from Nintendo has let it slip to them too.

The date would make a lot of sense as it would give them a few weeks headstart on the PS3 and assuming yields are high enough it would mean that their machine was sitting in the store when parents are unable to get themselves a PS3 on launch day.
