What?
OS X has all the tools necessary to host game development, let alone the consumer side of gaming. It ships with full fledged OpenGL (even going so far as to give non-shader-enabled cards shader support), and even help pioneer some really nice GL extensions that make game dev easier. You can use virtually any programming language you would ever want to build games with (sorry, no DarkBASIC...).
My MacBook can play World of Warcraft and Half Life 2, and that is more than I could ever hope to build as an indie developer. All of the other "pro" machines, and the iMacs, have come with good discrete GPUs for a long time now.
