Amazon France has slipped a page with the European release date and price for Nintendo’s monumental new game console, the Nintendo Revolution.
The tentative release date is listed as June 15, 2006. The total cost after conversion to US dollars, would be approximately $365. European game console prices tend to be a bit priced a higher than in North America, but this still sounds a bit overpriced given the Xbox’s $299-$399 price tag. From what we know so far the Nintendo Revolution will be less technologically advanced than the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3.
Based on the GameCube’s 2001 launch cycle—it arrived in Europe six months after it debuted in North America. This leak gives credence to rumors that the Revolution could see a surprise 2005 launch in Canada and the US.
Of course, when more “official” information is available for both the release date and price, htt://www.nintendorevolution.ca will let you know.
