They can certainly track what's a hit on the PC side, but that doesn't
always mean they can afford to develop/publish the Mac version right away.
Companies are always working to nail down licenses to bring games to the
Mac. But once they've gotten a certain number signed, they have to get those
games developed and published, and then get revenue from those sales, before
going out and getting more. This process can cause additional lag between
the Mac and PC releases. If we can just get more Mac games on more shelves,
we'll see more development of Mac games.
