I would argue that a company is only "in the gaming industry" so much as it invests capital for the purpose of fostering games. In this regard, Nintendo is obviously huge, since they operate two hardware platforms and a huge amount of development and publishing resources. Apple is relatively tiny, but ramping up. Three years ago it made roughly zero investment to foster games. Now it's adding social networks (Game Center), APIs, and hardware (gyroscopes) designed with gaming in mind. It's even working with Valve to improve Mac gaming and in the next version of Mac OS will try to recreate the massive success of the App Store, which is largely driven by game sales. If I load up the App Store right now, I see five of the top ten grossing iPad apps are games. On iPhone, it's eight out of ten. This game market first landed in Apple's lap with hardly any serious effort, but now that it's here, the company is quite aware of how important games are to its mobile platform. |
Yep dell owns alienware now. I hope they update their hardware specs soon they are a bit dated for laptops comapred to the OriginPC.com ones.
OriginPC.com was started by two former people of alienware before dell owned them. You can build like a 11K laptop with 24gb ram and dual video cards haha.
