[QUOTE="PC360Wii"][QUOTE="inb4uall"]

Gonna be honest I have no clue what you mean by mobile hardware. What I do know is that my family has a Windows downstairs, while I have a Mac pro, and I notice nothing in terms of diminished performence out of my mac when running the Win7 partition.

You mean you have an expensive laptop and your who are likely more casual than you with a 400 pound pc doesnt stand up to the mac? who would of thunk it?. Mobile hardware, as in a minature version of normal desktop hardware. Example I have an ATI 6950 Graphics card. laptops and imacs can get a ATI 6950M Graphics card ...... SAME PERFORMANCE COZ SAME NUMBERS RIGHT? ... yea no...

no I have a have a mac pro, as in the desktop variety.

the family windows is a pretty new Dell btw. So no its not custom built but its still a windows running "natively".

Need more information..... "pretty" new doesnt mean ANYTHING. ontop of that you wont notice much of a difference JUST using windows, it comes down to the taxing things like games, compression ect ..... you cant simply boot up windows on thse 2 devices and say its the same because your browser loads fast.

[QUOTE="PC360Wii"][QUOTE="inb4uall"]

and how is bootcamp any worse? lol Its windows 7 pro. Its the exact same thing only on MAC hardware. LOL like your custom buot rig defines the Windows experience.

*Looks at name* then looks at *Signature* then looks at *last post in this thread* .... im not going to get a serious response am I, but il humour. 1) You fail to factor in that bootcamp is still not 100% native and does NOT get equal performance, though it is considerably better than making a virtual machine with windows on. 2) That the majority of Apple users for MAC OS X are iMAC and MAC BOOK PRO Users, all running you guessed it, MOBILE HARDWARE.

[QUOTE="PurpleMan5000"][QUOTE="PC360Wii"][QUOTE="PurpleMan5000"] Valve actually has quite a few Mac games on the Steam store. Maybe Apple wants to make their next mac powerful enough to handle every game on Steam at high settings so publishers will go ahead and just port everything over. It's not like it takes a beastly computer to play multiplats anymore.

Maybe, but even Valves first party games have considerably poor performance on MAC OS C compared with Windows equivilant as benchmarks display. Its not up to valve what OS has what games, its each individual developer. App developers flock to android and iOS.... because they know thats the established market and the kinda people they are targeting are there. Core Software Game Developers know that outside of already INSANE popular franchises (Blizzard, LoL ect) that there isnt much of an audiance in comparison on the mac side of things. Hell the closest thing they will get is the mac fanboys that are dellusional enough to believe bootcamping windows offers similar or better performance :lol: ... omg I live with one, its hilarious.

If Apple makes a new OS that is easy to develop games for (and an equivalent to DirectX), publishers will port all of their games over. Apple is slowly replacing Windows in the home PC market. I don't think they will ever overtake them, but they have enough of a presence that no publisher is going to ignore that install base, especially if the next Mac has steam integration advertising their games every time somebody logs onto the computer.

... I'm sorry why was I just fed so much bull?.... Your first sentance makes no sense, as your asking every single developer out there to switch to a new kind of OS and form of development because one hardware giant that has very little hand in the current market of core games MAY think of something? "Apple is slowly replacing Windows in the home PC Department" bullcrap considering despite the Apple Upsurge in the last few years (MAINLY due to iphone, ipod ect) Windows 7 dominated OS sales records once again. You think because alot of middle class/upper working class folk in your areas have loads of apple devices and that they are the number 1 hardware seller means that they "take over" anything which is nowhere near the case. inflated numbers based on: 1) Microsoft is barely a hardware company..... its a software company first and foremost, so they wouldnt even be in the same runnings. 2) Windows is available on billions of different computers and devices from 100s or 1000s of different manafactures and THAT is why its 90% of the industry while apple is like 5-6%. 3) Jobs has passed on, apple stocks are shackey, strong competition is emerging. Really ridiculous, the fact that Direct X is STILL the only real BEST option for core games development and the number 1 choice for any development studio is more than enough reason to disagree with this silly theory.

Also could be talks about integrated steam for next macs.

Even though alot people hate apple, valve loves them :3

At what benefit would that be? to play all 10 games available on steam mac store?. The hipster culture is sickening .... if any other CEO went there it would be no big deal... because they are all busy DOING. not hyping crap. Playstation already did this long ago. Its obviously just better support and relations. hell Mr Cook has to try somehow, Gaming as in SOFTWARE gaming not APP Gaming is still a large reason for Windows Dominance, along with business, better developer support and scales with more devices.

[QUOTE="Heil68"][QUOTE="PC360Wii"][QUOTE="Heil68"] Being the # 1 tech company in the world and one of the most profitable has it perks. Apple should buy Valve and maybe EA and Activision.

Yes so what there are a considerable amount of companies that could do the same. Problem is apple are not aimed at that audience, apple and anyone with a brain is aware of this. you cant simple buy VALVE/EA ect and just expect it to print money by incoperating it into apple. Most valuable singular hardware company yes, and most powerful brand currently, BUT AT WHAT THEY DO. You expect a company whos philosophy is "Simplicity and casual user immersion" is going to largely effect an already established different niche? Apple is huge, but they are still a premium "Streamlined user" experience. Besides, the only area they own dominance in still is tablets.

not smart phones or ipods huh? ok.

No not phones.... you do realize android is the largest market share for smart phones right? only iphones are largest singular device. and is the exact reason apple has and will remain a niche. steamlining comes with a price of its own.

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]Or most people don't take gaming that seriously and play for fun in their down time inbetween living their lives.I don't think everybody sit there hunched over a computer trying to get the best K/D ratio and have surperior "1337 FPS G4M1NG SK1ILLZZZZ".Ironbash
This. Seriously OP get another hobby or something.

Except the op outlined flaws in gameplay with the controller that are accurate....
