WiiU will be sold at a loss in the States, but at a profit in Europe.

According to?

Mii.

Wii U Basic

• Japan: 26250 yen
• Europe: 31000 yen
• US: 24000 yen

Wii U Premium

• Japan: 31500 yen
• Europe: 36000 yen (console) - 5000 yen (Nintendo Land)= 31000 yen
• US: 28000 yen (console) - 5000 yen (Nintendo Land) = 23000 yen

Wii U Deluxe

• Japan: 38850 yen
• Europe: 40000 yen

You have to factor in the cost of doing buisness in Europe ...

There are higher regulatory costs, labour costs and taxes which all translate to it being more expensive to produce/sell anything throughout most of the Eurozone; and this results in goods being more expensive.
