Wii out by October 6th?

Ubisoft's UK press site has an odd piece of information in its release schedule. On October 6th, the movie tie-in game Open Season is set to ship for every major platform - including the Nintendo Wii. An Ubisoft spokesperson told HR Gamer that dates are subject to change, but in light of some other recent stories, it seems plausible that we'll have our hands on the Wii in early October. Most notable is an Activision slip-up in July, which pointed to an October release for Tony Hawk Downhill Jam. Sites like ArsTechnica have suggested the specific date of October 2nd. In any case, we'll probably learn the truth next week in Leipzig, where Nintendo will be holding its "Wii Keep Our Promise" event.
