November 15th 2006 | Games Consoles

Nintendo said on Wednesday it will ship almost 400,000 units of its new Wii game console for its Japan launch on December 2, offering four times as many machines as Sony Corp. did for its PlayStation 3 debut last week.

The Wii, which features a novel motion-sensitive controller, will go on sale in the United States on Sunday and on December 2 in Japan, competing with Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PS3 for holiday shoppers’ attention.
