"We can't disclose the Revolution's release period yet, but we have no plans to miss out on the year-end sales battle. As for North America, we need to release it by Thanksgiving, or otherwise we won't receive support from the retail industry. So the Revolution will be released prior to that period." -Satoru Iwata

This quote comes from Japanese newspaper Sankei Shinbun, and further confirms what we already knew: The Nintendo Revolution will be here before year's end.
