Rumor: Nintendo 3DS gets October release date

Stereoscopic 3D is surely picking up the pace with the amount of 3D technology being introduced this year to the mass consumer market, and we have whiff of the Nintendo 3DS being released this October in the UK, which is a long way off from the currently anticipated March 2011 rollout date. What do you think – will an October release see Nintendo’s coffers swell up due to the upcoming holiday season, or will gamers remain on the sidelines and be cautious with there their dollars are going?
