I rarely see Mac software anywhere I go unless it's 1) an Adobe application or 2) a Macromedia application. That's not to say that it's not out there, it's just not in the shelfspace market for anyone but specialized retailers. Mac and Linux gamers are a rabid bunch, but they're seen as a non-market in most retail eyes. So they've moved their buying power online rather that traditional retail channels. You can see PC gaming moving in that direction as well in a number of stores. The console sections grow while the PC section shrinks. In a number of EB and Gamestop stores I've been to in the last year, the toy section (Spawn and Final Fantasy figurines) is almost as big as the PC games section. And the games that are on the shelves are usually only the top sellers.
Mac gamers changing their shopping habits to online shopping is quite a plus for indie developers who don't have a prayer of getting their title shelfspace at a local Games 'R Us store. We have to work ten times as hard to be seen, but Mac and Linux gamers are already searching for us because they've either been shuffled out of the stores (Mac) or were never allowed in (Linux).
