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.

" For one thing, Apple isn't hampered anymore (as far as we can optimistically tell) by bad performance. Therefore, Apple can start evangelizing with the advantage that its demographic is wealthy and that a lot of PCs are used as servers or other non-game things."
Apple is still hampered; the only speed demon in Apple's arsenal is the G5, and ALL the laptops, and consumer computers, and STILL hobbled by the much, much, much slower G4 which by comparison are STILL way overpriced for performance when compared to the consumer P4s.
Reality: Moto is still "TALKING" a great fight (200Mhz FSB; still very low), but hasn't produced much more than vapors to date.
