Wii U And The Price Differences

When any console gets released, the console and games are usually cheaper in US and Japan than they are in UK/EU, so how does the Wii U Fair ?

Console

Wii U White US - $299.99 = £187.26
Wii U Black US - $349.99 = £218.48

Wii U White UK - £249.97 = $400.59
Wii U Black UK - £299.97 = $480.64

Games

US
New Super Mario Bros. U - $59.99 = £37.45
ZombiU - $59.99 = £37.45
Call of Duty: Black Ops II - $59.99 = £37.45
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition - $59.99 = £37.45
Assassin's Creed III - $59.99 = £37.45

UK
New Super Mario Bros. U - £44.97 = $72.01
ZombiU - the sites lists it at £0.00
Call of Duty: Black Ops II - £54.97 = $88.02
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition - Not Listed.
Assassin's Creed III - £49.97 = $80.00

Prices come from Gamestops US and UK stores and conversion was done with XE

So no shock that people in UK regions get ripped off.
