Nintendo Wii U Release Outed?

Could a leak from a Japanese retailer have pointed out the Nintendo Wii U’s release this year? 

According to a report from WiiUDaily, the retailer called Media Land, based in Tokyo, has outed the release date. In a leaked internal memo, a November 18th release date was mentioned.

This would put the Wii U in line with other Japanese Nintendo launches such as the Wii which launched on the same Sunday in November as this year’s 18th.
