IBM announced today that it has begun shipping Power Architecture-based chips to Nintendo for use in the Wii. Yet we still have no definite price or release date. Maybe Nintendo is planning to pull an Apple-esque move where they announce everything and it’s available immediately. Maybe, but probably not. I want to play “Battalion Wars 2,” so hurry up dammit.
