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.

It's inevitable, apple will create their own gaming console based on the powerpc (just like the nintendo gamecube). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if nintendo partnered with apple. And I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a startup company being spawned by apple/pixar for developing killer next generation games. Actually, I take that back, I think Apple will develop games for the big3 consoles. Imagine booting up a game and seeing a white screen with a big grey apple in the middle of the screen while playing on your playstation2 or xbox--fucking cool!
There's no point in playing games on a workstation, it's so faux pas, and it's too costly as someone suggested. Plus, computers are losing their margins, apple is expanding their portfolio and gaming is just the biggest growth market in the high-tech industry right now, even bigger than bio-tech.
iTunes, iChat, to iGames.
this would solve many problems, a) the people that can't afford an apple workstation that primarily play games and need the *performance of an x86 el cheapo system (shutting them up would reduce the 90% spam comments that osnews gets) b) get more revenue into apple so that they can get their creative juices flowing and bring you more wonderful software/hardware c) help proliferate the apple branding d) stick a large 2x4 up bill gates' ass
sorry osnews if apple shuts your site down, this was just an epiphany for me and I really see it happening within the next 3 years. So you heard it first from me, ya heard?!
