How many hardcore gamers do you know who are also avid Mac users? Probably not many. Windows users have thousands of titles to choose from, and cheap hardware to run their games on.

Pretty good idea, although the main hurdle would be the creation of a killer app; as you said, no-one will switch for a tetris clone.
Perhaps Apple could license the rights to a sucessful franchise such as Harry Potter or LOTR, release the game on OSX then, later on, release it for x86.
