damn straight. and it's idiotic that they don't. Decades of development and they failed. The Huge market for Games and they Ignore it. They Could have Easily come up with a Game console on the side like Microsoft did and made a few billion. The Investment could have been worth it and still is. How to get people use a mac? after they;re done working on it, watching a movie or listening to music, what else can we(apple) get them to continue using it? Hmm.. But They ignore it and let users wander off and go to xbox/playstation with their attention. Is that Smart? no.  I know playing games on the iphone is dumb as the various games overheat the phone and kill the battery life. Apple has killed various tools on the mac that would have been good for gaming, why? They should stop being the stick up the butt luxury company and start catering toward the common users. No one is gonna buy those stupid glasses in todays' economy, and it's not for kids anyway so your market is strictly limited. The Games? It has a wide audience and can hook your user base.

What would happen if Apple Tomorrow Released a Game Console by Surprise? There would be soo much attention and interest. The Stock would go up, they would open up another revenue stream and have lines clamoring to buy it. So The question is, WHY Hasn't they done so?  Idiocy.

Why isn't an xMac a Discussion we ALL need to talk about?? This is what the USERS want and need. The Choices Apple gives us is horrible, over priced, non upgradable and rather lame. All The Prosumers/ media creators want a xMac and their all Long Overdue. It's  Huge market that Apple is ignoring and I don't understand why. Under Tim Cook's leadership Apple has Failed it's users with products that have flaws and Wane from The Core values of apple's past. It's become a Luxury brand, trying to suck money from ever pore with Subscriptions(That people don't want) Lack of User interactivity in development and limited innovation.

A prosumer xMac with a i7 can basically cost around $3k. Less than $1500 in parts in whole sale, making apple 50% profit. You can pull parts for $1500, a Motherboard, ram, CPU, Vid Card, case, powersupply, ect and make your self a Hackintosh, that's Equivalent to a xMac/MacPro. The PEOPLE are making these because of the Failure of Apple. Why can't they make one?

I'm running a 2008 mac pro and have skipped upgrading over the years to wait for this years Mac Pro, and have been Extremely Disappointed. Been Let down by the Previous trashcan which no one wanted. and have left little choice in cobbling together a Hackintosh or wait till Apple gets off their ass. Seems like employing thousands of people you'd want to sell as much products that people want. Apparently I'm out of the loop somehow. Think how easy it is for Apple to come up with an xMac? It'll be easy! Come on! and nope. Lame.

A Chi..(Taiwanese) company should give apple a middle finger and make some wheels for the thing for $20. and a stand for $50.
