Euro Revolution Begins 15 June 2006?
"Amazon.com France has slipped a page with the European release date and
price for Nintendo's monolithic new game console, the Revolution. The
release date is listed as June 15, 2006. The total, after conversion, would
be about $365. European console prices tend to be a bit higher than here in
the U.S., but this still sounds like a fool's ransom given the Xbox 360's
$299-$399 pricetag. (Remember that Nintendo says its console will be less
technologically advanced and thus cheaper than the Xbox 360 or PS3). Based
on the GameCube's 2001 launch cycle-it arrived in Europe six months after it
debuted in N.A.-this leak gives credence to rumors that the Revolution could
see a surprise 2005 launch.

Either that, or Nintendo is doing some very cheeky marketing."

It's just a placeholder. Nothing to get excited about.
