Nintendo Wii has a new SKU: New colours?!

xsynergyx | May 26, 2008 | News | Wii Company 
Apparently, a new SKU has entered temporary position of "early warning". Lest this mean a new bundle, colours or something else can could surprise it, this is pretty interesting in what it could turn out to be.
Nintendo's hugely popular Wii console has entered the internal status of 'early warning' of a major American retail outlet, meaning the current stock-keeping unit will start being phased out within 90 days and will be replaced, shortly there after, by a newer SKU.

A trusted source with access to internal documents has given Neowin this exclusive story. It remains to be seen whether this development is due to new bundles being released or perhaps coloured versions of the Wii, but the current SKU will definitely begin to be removed from sales channels within 90 days.

    Colours would be nice to choose from, but personally, I think that Nintendo should just stick to the white style they have going with the Wii and Wii realated items.

    Fan-effing-tastic.

    As Nintendo look as though they're finally about to release Brawl, a Wii game that has me interested for the hype if nothing else, this news comes through.

    I'm not keen on the idea of my Wii being outdated 2 months after I buy it.

    I'd buy a Wii if I could get it in black and bundled with something good (SSBB, MKWii, etc).

    A Black Wii has always been shown, ever since it was called the Revolution there have been pictures.

    Until I see the hardware, I ain't buying it (literally and metaphorically).

    Well the black looks nice and it looks quite different to the usual white. It's always good to mix things up with a few new colours. Wonder what other colours we're in for.

      I loved the way the black Wii looked at the revealing of the "Revolution" and wish they would have used that instead.

    I always wanted a black Wii, but now it's to late. I don't really want one anymore.
