the argument for support of video games is that not everybody needs them.
Dell is aware of that as only in specific series Ubuntu will be available.
But still there are more reasons to buy Dell/Ubuntu even without Windows: Having the drivers support of Dell will not have to worry for issues at the their first steps with Linux. Again, supporters of the Linux paradigm will prefer for the same reason.
So Dell, with this step will absorb users from both paradigms.
