Who would have ever thought that a microphone could predict the future? It sounds like some sort of failed ABC comedy.

Earlier today, EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed the exciting news for Wii owners:

In terms of pacing the next few quarters, you’re probably well aware of the more than $2.5 million music downloads that have occurred on Rock Band. What’s probably the most interesting pieces right now is the coming launch on the Wii, the continued sale of the core platforms in North America and then the fiscal ‘09 launch across Europe against all of the SKU.

No details were given on whether or not the Wii version will feature the Band World Tour mode and wealth of downloadable content like its PS3 and 360 counterparts. Hopefully, the Wii version won’t simply be a port of the stripped down PS2 version (no online content and World Tour mode), but considering the lengthy delay, I doubt that this will be the case.

Fun fact: Almost exactly a year ago, another game was revealed through a conference call.
