Does the operating system matter for games?

I've been wondering since I returned my last laptop and getting a new one what to get: Windows 8 or Mac?

If you want to play games: Windows

If you want an overpriced system to browse facebook: Mac

thats pretty much all that needs to be said.

The Mac will cost more for weaker hardware, but you will save some money because you wont have to worry about buying any games for it, as there arnt any

Do you look like this? Mac

You don't look like this? PC

Fanboy stuff aside, most games still don't run on OSX.

For gaming, windows.

Mac has a lot of games, but they still aren't anywhere near windows. You could run windows in boot camp, but you're paying for OSX when you buy a mac, so that's a waste of money.
