With the new, sexy, smaller PS3 do you think it has what it takes to finally come out on top in a holiday season?

The price for the model is similar to the old slim, but it's far sleeker and there's a cheaper 12GB model available in Europe.

Wii U won't be a factor, because it only has around one month to sell. It doesn't look like MS are going to do much either. WIi...no need to mention that.

It isnt sexy.  Its just b etter looking than the frankly fugly current slim.

It is more expensive.  You have stated "cheaper 12GB for Europe".  It is more expensive.

 

Also, define dominate.  The Wii came close to domination a few times but didnt make it.  The 360 and PS3 have never and will never dominate.

 

I expect the PS3 and 360 to end the year pretty much level after the 360 beats the PS3 over the holidays.   Buzz will surround the WiiU.  The PS3 stands to lose out a lot in Japan at the end of the year, the 360 sells nothing there so it has nothing to lose.

Wait, what does a 160GB cost right now in Euros (official price?

"Dominate" is a fancy term for coming out on top, at least these days.

Japan laps up new models, plus RE6 is coming (with huge pre-orders). I think they might do better there this year than last (for this period). Possibly


To the bolded, it doesn't under any cirumcstances mean anything like that unless used in sarcasm.  If you used that word you meant it would dominate the competition, i.e. tower above in sales figures, overshadow the competition.  If you've used the wrong word or don't believe you you've used it correctly then just admit you're wrong and change your OP. 

I personally read it as you were being a little bit over zealous and excited for what the new model would do to sales figures and was making a overly exagerrated claim as it's pretty clear to me there is very little chance of the PS3 dominating the 360 in the holidays if you follow the correct meaning of the word.
