Wasn't the Gamecube something like $149 at this point of it's lifecycle, half of what the Wii U costs?

Exactly. The Wii U started off at $350, making it Nintendo's most expensive console

Yes but what does $149 = now after you adjust for inflation?

~$195 USD  in 2014 adjusted for CPI inflation.

Also to note around 80% of all PS2 sold were priced at $199 or under  (~$260 adjusted for inflation.)
