Will the alienwarex51 have a future home with console gamers?

quite frankly I stumble on this by accident, I saw a picture comparison (size) with and xbox 360 and the alienware x51. So I started looking into this and the base model starts at $699, im thinking the new consoles coming out ps4 (orbis) and xbox (unnamed) will once again be at $600 at release. I also notice the current trend of many game companies porting their game to pc (batman arkham city, ssf4, even ff7). Im sure that a secong generation alienware x51 will be release at the time the new consoles are release and with a logitech controller im thinking the alienware will be a better "console" buy. thoughts?

All I know is that a few console only gamers already got convinced start PC gaming by it. The systems seem pretty capable of whatever gets thrown at them.

I plan on buying one

lol noodle.

and no one is tricked into buying trash made by alienware any pc gamer that thinks they are good is stupid.

Before I use to hate AlienWare and avoid it, but I'm going to make an acception for this product.

Nope, consolites are cheap b astards who want a super computer or console hardware to costs only $300 maxed, but would gladly buy every g od d amn overpriced BS games @ $60.

Why would any company do that? That price tag was nothing but trouble for Sony.

I've done a price comparison with custom builts using similar specs and in terms of USD they're aren't as overpriced as they use to be. About a $200 difference with the Auroras and about a $100-$50 with the X51s

It doesn't use laptop parts it uses desktop parts........... People seem to be unaware there are desktop versions of the GTX 555 and GT 545

Im buyin a Alienware x51 in a week or two. It just looks so awesome. Getting the top model with blu-ray. It should be able to keep up with current games for at least 5 years.

I think the X51 will become more feasible as low and mid-range cards get better both in performance, power requirements, and heat dissipation. I guess the X51 would be fine for lighter PC gaming.

It's definitely not for the "slide everything to the right or pick the highest number" graphics settings crowd.

Is this a Alienware version of the Fragbox?

It's pricey for what you get, but at the same time, it gives people pretty much what they expect from a console like experience.

You buy it, and you plug it in, and that's pretty much it. You log into steam and start downloading games. Once the TV GUI for Steam comes out, that "console like" couch exprience, becomes that much easier on the PC. Which is a good thing. It's what PC is all about. Options.

I personally have a cutting edge rig, so it doesn't interest me, but I've got friend and fmaily already asking me about it.

As long as it's upgreadable I don't think it's a bad buy. It gives you better than cosnole gmaing performance, plus everythign else a Pc does.

I would still recommend people build their own PC's but that simply not an option for everyone.

To me it comes down to this: what looks cooler? The PC case, or the games you can play on a higher end system for the same amount of money? donalbane

A $700 console wouldn't fly.

It really doesn't have much of a future.
