The Japanese newspaper Nikkei has "leaked some announcements" related to the upcoming Wii U, just before the Nintendo E3 2012 press conference.

The paper says that the expected console price will be around 30,000 yen.

It's unclear if the paper received any insider information about this price, or if it's just stating an obvious target.

As a comparison, PlayStation 3's 160GB model has an MSRP of ¥24,980. Wii's MSRP is ¥20,000.

[...]

The paper also reports that Wii U will see distribution of non-game content, including a car navigator, books, and a karaoke service with around 10,000 songs.

Now, that would be *around* $380 USD.

We all know everything is priced a lot higher in Japan, so that as well *could* translate to $300-$350 USD/€ in the rest of the world, as previously suggested?.

Keep in mind that, Nintendo said that they would not share pricing information about Wii U at E3. But, an official announcement can't be far away.
