If they do that Nintendo dies on the spot!!! Honestly they're smart enough not to make such a silly mistake... I heard via French websites that Carrefour priced the WiiU at 450€ but I rather think that it was just a random price so as to list the preorder.

Seems to match up the 400 pounds that Zavvi asks:

Don't pay attention to this, it's just some stores putting a placeholder to accept preorders.

Or, if you look at it the other way around, this stores are sure that the console won't cost more than those placeholders, so we guess that it will cost less than that.
