Isn't summer usually when there is a video game drought? If I was a betting man I would place my money in the fall like in October and November. Though to release it on the 21st anniversary of the SNES which is August 23rd would be awesome for no other reason than I love the SNES and I can relive the expereince of playing a brand new console during the last few dog days of Summer.
To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

Because the bulk of sales are made in the holiday season ie. grannies and uncles buying presents. And to get maximum exposure in the shops, you need a recent release. So everything gets bunched up in the last 2 months of the year.

Early? if the console is completed by those dates I don't see any kind of problem, they need to place a strong number of consoles around the world and be able to sell a lot of games (and units) in december.

Nintendo could always buck the trend.
They could, but video game companies must have a reason.
You don't see a drought in movie releases during the summer (quite the opposite actually), so why is there a gaming drought during the summer?

a November launch for a gaming system? What could possibly give you that idea-oh wait every other gaming system ever made. Yeah, it's probably gonna be November.
Exactly (give or take a week or two). I don't know why anyone is really thinking otherwise.
A just-post-E3 release sounds like one of those things where some writer/blogger/moron guesses something just on the off chance that it turns right, so afterwards he can say "see? i told you i had insider info! now i am super-credible on everything i say! LOVE ME!"
