It literally means that an equally priced Mac will always under-perform to an equally priced PC.

If your argument is "Lol, I have so much money that I'm at the point where money doesn't translate into performance anymore", then this is more an argument about wealthy people having poor value perception more than it is about a true comparison of performance.
As you have no idea of my financial situation, my level of financial literacy, or my reasons for purchasing an iMac, leave the ad hominem attacks and stereotypes at the door. They serve no purpose in this discussion. My point was that for my parameters, the increased cost of performance was a good tradeoff. Even with that, this argument ignores the fact that this hardware has been more than capable of playing this game at full settings for almost a year now. Ait has for many people playing through Bootcamp. The hardware is not subpar for a 2 year old game.

This is a very poor metric actually. 12,150 for PC vs 4125 on MAC for my country, about 33%. This isn't even counting that games on steam are the most likely to have a Mac port.

And even then, how much of that 33% was released on par with the PC version, or is ported correctly, or patched simultaneously? Typically Mac games receive a port after a game is successful enough to afford it, or the company in question is big enough to do so from the begging. This are just layers upon layers of why gaming on Mac is a horrible experience, and why most Mac users just play their games on boot camp.
Yes, the game catalog for OS X is not as big and Windows. Despite that, more game companies are releasing OS X versions of their games.


This right here. This is the kind of experience anyone playing on a Mac has to deal with in almost every game, and you just spelled it out.
World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, and Bioshock Infinite all worked just fine in OS X.
