[QUOTE="sluzniak, post: 269772, member: 15228"] Well, while it is sort of true that most mac users aren't gamers, the times are a changing. I felt this started with the G5 imacs, and when apple started using a halfway decenet video card (ATI x600 and the X1600) that can support more modern games like Quake 4. Also now that apple has launched into another succucessful if not entertaining advertising* campaign, there are going to be more and more home users coming to mac. I think apple has been doing an excellent job in a long term switch campaign. Get people intrested in apple with the ipod, bring people into an apple store, let them see the OS there, buy a mac mini, switch to intel, and introduce boot camp to lure more PC geeks, and now the new advertising*. And its true what Jem said, Macs are more akin to consoles then anything. I hope that more and more developers will start looking at mac as a more marketable platform, and to get more users to buy thier product. * Yes the ads have made more people ****** off, and there are countless spoofs out there and many people just plain don't like them. I find them sort of amusing. [/QUOTE]
