"At this time we can't confirm Nintendo's dates and we don't know exactly what was heard, but we simply do not know that this point. We are launching accessories, but the date for the accessories doesn't mean a confirmation on the hardware. If you seek confirmation on the date that is something that is going to need to go specifically though Nintendo, but we can't confirm or deny dates on any of their hardware." - PDP community manager Candace Hinton
"We have nothing to announce at this time." - Nintendo rep

I think we all know that the leak is real. Come Sept. 13th, I'll be very surprised to hear another date for Wii U than Nov. 18th.
