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.

don't flame me now.. this is just my take on it. btw: i do have an iMac at home along with my gaming machine and 2 servers.
that’s not a good idea from my point of view in that the Mac is already overpriced for the h/p and to add maybe as little as $50 is not going to help. Why do you think that most people buy PC’s and not macs. Not because the PC is a better machine or more powerful.. it’s because a Mac low priced entry level mac is still twice as much as an low price e/l PC. The hardware and the construction of a mac is much better then a PC... but still that just doesn’t cut it. People see an iMac at $1200 running at 700mhz and see a PC at $400 running at 700mhz.. which would I buy?
I don’t think games would change the outcome.. pricing will change the outcome.
