Why go Mac?
So why do people still game on their Macs? As many gamers and developers are quick to tell you - they love their Macs, with an almost religious fervor. People still report greater ease of use and a more intuitive interface with the Mac OS, but it's still not a place where gamers come to play.
One GameSpot reader put it this way: "I'm sure you indeed deserve to be the butt of a flame war, not for pitting the lions against the Christians... again... but for your misconception that Mac users really care about how fast their machines play games ... We use this interface, which, though stolen from the great Xerox, has made all PCs easier to use (and sell) to Everyman, because it was designed to work well doing what we need it to do... design work."
"I'm sure you indeed deserve to be the butt of a flame war, [but] not for pitting the lions against the Christians... again."

That might be the issue right there. Maybe Apple's game plan is to think design instead of different. Hard to say though, repeated efforts to reach Apple's game product manager at the show and at the company's headquarters in San Jose before deadline were met with silence - much like what most of the Mac gaming community seems to be hearing as well.
