Nintendo Revolution to be renamed this week, June release rumors

First up is a strong whisper that the Revolution’s real name will finally be confirmed this week at the show, probably as part of Nintendo president Saturo Iwata’s keynote speech on Thursday. According to our sources, this week will be the week when the Rev finally gets its new moniker, but what it might be is still anyone’s guess.

The other persistent rumour which has been doing the rounds is that Nintendo may launch the Rev as early as June. Speaking to BusinessWeek, [Akiteru Itoh from Japan's Media Create] said, "There are rumors that the Revolution could be released as early as June. If that happens and Nintendo sells around one million units, Sony could have a harder time catching up."
