It might be different where you live, but in the UK it is more expensive than the ps3 and 360. On Amazon the cheapest new WiiU is £200, the cheapest PS3 is £150 and cheapest 360 is £125.
Given that the power of the consoles is roughly the same, I'd hazard a guess that the gamepad is inflating the WiiU's price somewhat. Despite what features it adds, it is the most expensive console over here.
For the record I do like the controller, but I think it was a bad idea to include it as standard. It inflated the price and made the console harder to market.
