>Walmart is getting into the gaming PC business. The retailer has announced an exclusive line of three laptops and three desktop towers under the name Overpowered -- and (((the specs are actually pretty good))). >The machines, available only from Walmart, have been designed in partnership with Esports Arena.

>Walmart's not gone into great detail about its desktop offerings, but we know the three models -- DTW1, DTW2 and DTW3 -- each come with a Core i7-8700 processor, and, respectively, a GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, a GeForce GTX 1080 and a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. More specs and pricing details on the desktop models will be announced in due course, although some reports suggest the mid-range model will retail around $1,899.

Why would a company that can barely sell working bread and milk sell gaming PC's to 12 year old gamers?

It is clear from the start that Walmart is trying to appeal to transitioning Macfags. The way their website looks to how descriptive they are smells of Apple branding.

Would you buy a inexpensive "OP Gaming" desktop when these computers hit around <$900?

Why waste money on a Walmart peasant machine when you can get a Costco Kirkland Signature PC or a Amazon preferred PC?

Has PC building become too easy for the masses?

Because they can.

No because we don't use hardware who's botnet here.

>when these computers hit around <$900?

600$

>Costco Kirkland Signature PC or a Amazon preferred PC?

We don't buy that shit because it's botnet and amazon is globalist corp.

>Has PC building become too easy for the masses?

Since the end of the 80s yes.

Now mod please delete this shill thread.

Why is it that every time somebody tries the "mass market gaming PC" thing, they refuse to offer anything price competitive with consoles? Unlike individuals dumb enough to buy at MSRP instead of used parts off eBay building their own rig, these companies have the substantial advantage of being able to buy parts in bulk. They could profitably offer PCs on par with consoles for $250-$500, but they never do.

Consoletards are immune to logic (see "the human eye can only see 30fps) so they would not buy a PC on par with a console because they claim PCs twice as fast aren't as good as consoles.

Kids and their parents don't exactly know what they're doing, they just go for what's popular, which means a new brand has no chance there.

The only markets left are people who are lazy and don't like building a PC themselves, and people who want status symbols a la apple.

The first group is hard to please because a relatively small price margin is pretty good at solving their laziness, and the second group is already fine with Alienware.

I kind'a hold the hope that "muh sales" would be enough to lure them in, if you offered a price-competitive box that plugged into your TV and also had games for 2/3rds to 1/10th the price plus easier /scurv/ for 3rd worlders, along with infinite backward compatibility, it might be enough to kill consoles.

Especially if you struck during the doldrums of a given generation, like 2010-2012 would've been perfect.
