The Mac platform will probably have less and less games
The x86 mac platform will probably feature less and less games. With the possibility to boot the intel machines to WindowsXP these users will probably just play WindowsXP based games.
If companies produce games for OSX, which is very much like Linux (a Unix actually), then they can easily produce the same game for linux and vice versa.
It looks like it's going to be just consoles and windows(XP) when it comes to gaming in the future. :(
One could also look for ways of creating a standardized gaming platform for computers by way of creating a virtual machine capable of running gamecode accross different OS-platforms. Like emulators are in a way right now.
