But back to ARR, Cider > Wine > no Mac port. And even a native port can introduce its own bugs and performance issues, so there's no automatic win there.

For capability, it's generally Windows >= Mac > PS3. (So many Windows computers sold only have built-in graphics, if any, and Macs at least come with some graphics, so there's a little overlap. And though less powerful, all PS3s can play ARR.) For numbers of gamers, it's PS3 > Windows > Mac.
Think I had a brain freeze there, SWtOR shouldn't be there obviously

I've tried WoW on OSX (native client) as well as WAR on OSX (Cider port), and both had bad performance compared to running them on windows though bootcamp on the same machine. In case of WoW it was doable, in case of WAR it was so bad it became unplayable during bigger pvp battles.

So, while a Cider port is better than nothing, there will also be a LOT of whining about bad performance and that the Windows/PS3 people have an advantage over the OSX people etc.
