Dell and Alienware’s gaming system revenue “about 15 times” rival Razer’s

Frank Azor, Alienware and XPS chief over at Dell, made public on Thursday that its gaming business revenue is now at $3 billion. That significant sum is, as Azor states, roughly 15 times that of gaming peripheral and hardware company Razer’s system sales, and three times Dell’s closest competitor. The announcement marks a new direction for Dell and its subsidiary Alienware, which has been under the tech behemoth’s umbrella since 2006. Despite a humble approach in the past, Azor sees this announcement as the beginning of Dell flexing its muscles and throwing its sheer mass around in the gaming space. “We have been holding that close to the vest for a long time,” Azor, speaking to media and analysts at Dell’s HQ in Round Rock Texas, says. “It’s not like we went from $2 billion to $3 billion in the last six months. We tend to be very humble, but we’ve been told not to be humble anymore. We want to get a bit more credit for some of the work we’ve been doing and the success we’ve had in that space.”
