Rumor: Wii U to launch before Thanksgiving in U.S., December in Europe

Manufacturing the issue in Europe, says source.

Wii U will not release in Europe until December, a month ahead of Nintendo‘s intended November launch, according to a CVG source.

The reason, said the source, has something to do with manufacturing the Wii U GamePad.

In the U.S., however, the source said Nintendo is determined to launch Wii U before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Nintendo has yet to announce an official launch date.
