This chart really does say it all , Ubisoft is being absolutley ridiculous.Wii U only costs $15 more in actual terms than the wii, and it even costs less than the mighty PS2 did at launch when accounting for inflation. 

There is more to this information than the price adjusted for inflation. Inflation has been historically under-reported and the wages of people with lower incomes have stagnated and/or fallen with time so consoles have become relatively more expensive instead of less expensive. You also have to take into consideration the fact that the Wii had a very good pack in game at $249 and realistically the equivalent console to the launch Wii is nominally $100 more expensive with a weaker pack in title.

I am not exactly certain you can call mii sports a "very good pack in game" but regardless, nothing you said disputes my point, the Wii U is launching at a perfectly reasonable price point when looking at historical prices. The fact that the Ubisoft CEO says otherwise really does  not lead credence to his company "fully supporting " the system.
