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.

Game titles are more frequently being released on multiple-platforms simultaneously. Take, for example, "Enter the Matrix" - there is a PC version, an Xbox version, a PS2 version and a Gamecube version (heh, but no Mac version). There are fewer and fewer "killer titles" that are produced exclusively for the PC anymore.
Consoles have been taking ever more market share away from the PC, as a gaming platform, and the overall trend is away from PCs (or Macs) towards consoles.
IMHO, it is not gaming that will pull more users onto the Mac platform, but your idea is a very clever one.
