By the way, I do own a Wii. The software selection isn't really comparable.
Let's deal with some facts. Computers change rapidly, and sometimes you get stuck holding a piece of software that doesn't work. That's not Apple's fault; it's not the game maker's fault, and it's not your fault. Like the bumper sticker says: Sh1t Happens, or politically correctly, that's life. You take your lumps and move on. The next fact is that Apple obviously is doing a pretty damn good job at figuring out who their market is, as they're sales are going nowhere but up. The next fact is that I've sold literally thousands of Macs over the years, and I could count on my ten fingers and ten toes the number of people who have expressed a concern over the video card that's in an iMac. When that situation arose, I asked what they were playing, did my research (I'm not a gamer), and if there wasn't a Mac that would run what they wanted to run, I'd tell them to either get a PC or a game machine.
You'll never stay up to date with the latest technology, unless you buy a new computer every time something changes, and that's the cold hard facts of the situation, and whining about what Apple did or didn't do in the newest model doesn't change any facts.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I wish some of you guys would believe me more often when I talk 
Faster under Windows than OS X and holds up very well against the Geforce 7600 at highest resolutions (ok so faster CPU but these are GPU intensive)
The next lot of benchmarks is against 3Ghz Mac Pros with 1900XT and Quadro FX 5400.
Killer Cinebench flyby. Beats the 8 core Mac Pro with the Quadro
Killer in Motion too.
Not bad at all.
At Imaginator it beats the 8 core Mac Pro with the Quadro.
