Sony fans may have a tough time trying to get one of the 300,000 units expected to be in stores in the US on November 17, but Nintendo fans should fare quite a bit better. Nintendo says that about four million units of its new system will be shipped out worldwide by the end of this year. The majority of these consoles will be tagged for the Americas. Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime says in today's press release, "Because of demand, we're urging shoppers not to get complacent. The level of demand we're seeing goes beyond the ordinary. Retailers are telling us a significant fraction of customers pre-ordering Wii are nontraditional gamers -- people looking for a better way to play. And that's exactly what Wii is designed to provide." The Wii is scheduled to hit stores on November 19.
