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. Despite the many virtues of the Mac platform, it is not the first choice of serious gamers. Even the speedy new G5's will not change that.

Do you know how many bad games get made? How hard is it to ensure that at least half of them are worth playing?
Just look at how many studios only produce good games. Blizzard has a winning streak, and id Software if you like that, otherwise, most studios have a good mix of good, great, and horrible games.
So the problem is that you would have to hire the game gurus, like Peter Molyneux or Sid Meier. And they are quite expensive.
Yes, if you could gaurantee that the 3 best multiplayer games (like Half-Life, still bitter about that...) every year are ported to Mac, and that there are a gouple other awesome games that come out for Mac first(maybe a year or even 6 months), then you'd have a good thing going.
It may even be a good business move, but it seems like a really high risk proposition.
<brainstorm> what about something like click-n-run but for games? <brainstorm>
It is a pipe dream though
