If the sole purpose of buying a computer is for playing games, then get a windows PC for the reason we're talking about now, but a mac makes an excellent laptop/desktop for doing general work on, and in my experience is a lot smoother. As a student I prefer my mac 10x more than my old windows laptop which cost around the same price. Also, although a mac makes up around 5-10% of PC sales, because businesses buy a lot more windows computers it actually makes the consumer market for games larger than 5-10%. Sure, traditionally macs were a lot more underpowered and a tiny market so developers ignored it, but it makes sense to start developing more games for them now. I'm in no way saying a mac is better than a PC for gaming, because they aren't. I'm just saying things have changed now and developing games for macs just makes sense...
