Is Nintendo’s NX Beginning Production In October ?

Digitimes has reported that Nintendo has been visiting their supply chain partners recently and has ordered pilot production on the new system from Foxconn Electronics. This initial manufacturing is likely to begin in October. Also, mass production on the system is rumored to begin sometime in May or June 2016, with a possible launch in July 2016. They're expected to talk more about the system sometime next year, and several other companies are likely to join in on production. It's unclear if these rumors suggest a simultaneous global launch or a gradual roll out, although the same reports suggests Nintendo is expecting to ship 20 million consoles in its first year.
