@ Ummm, I think that's why the Apple TV getting a major upgrade and/or the iPod/iTouch as a mobile platform are more realistic bets.
Apple would have far more success building out a specific product as a "game machine" than trying to make their computer lineup compete with PCs as game machines. From a strategy standpoint, many people point to Apple's slow but definite PC market share growth as an extension of the iPod's success.
Build a great little "must-have" game machine (now that the iPod sales have slowed and fully saturated the market) and you have a new avenue to promote the brand long-term.
