Wii U is 26,250 Yen in Japan / 31,500 Yen in Japan, $300 / $350 in the US.

I would expect 40,000 Yen in Japan for PS3 to be $450 in the US. 

Rule of thumb for new consoles is take the price of the console from your company that is still on the market and add $200-$300 to it. Wii was $130 last year, Wii U sold for effectively $330ish, PS3 is $250, PS4 will be $450. Old consoles used to be $100 or so when successors arrived, but that isn't really true anymore.



People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
