Steam is a tough comparison, as it targets hardcore gamers who are typically insatiable for new releases. What happens with standard apps? Some Mac user or shop buys the 4 or 5 apps they need and then ... nothing. A Mac app store would be great for visibility, updates, etc. But it doesn't seem like a very profitable venture.

A Mac App Store would probably have to go hand & hand with a new era of casual Mac gaming building on popular iPhone game franchises. One interesting angle is using the iPhone/Touch itself as a Wii style controller
