Is PS3 set to dominate console sales for the rest of the year?

When the new slim is released, the base price in the US is 269.99, right?  The current base price is 249.99.  While you could argue that they added value with the bundle, you can't really argue that the price didn't increase.

The other models are still available, so the base price did not increase. This slim has a bigger hard drive, a game, and dlc for Dust 514 (forgot to mention how happy I am about that, Icelandic power fuck yeah!!) as opposed to just the old slim for $249. There will be plenty of deals for the holidays, don't worry.

The old slim will no longer be produced; so the old slim is only available until stock runs out.  WHEN stock runs out, the new base price as far as we know, is $269, that's an increase, I'm sorry if we can't agree on that, but it seems very straight-forward to me.

You are correct that holiday bundles MAY exist, but the current content and pricing of those bundles is TBD, no way to know how that will impact sales.

So given the information I currently have available, I'd answer no, the PS3 is not set to dominate console sales the rest of the year.
