Well, if your main focus is PC gaming, then... duh. However, my Mac Pro makes for an excellent gaming PC. It's fast as all hell. It's just overpriced if that's your main activity. But for me, it's not—the main reason I got it was to have a very fast OS X box for HD editing and compositing. The fact that it's also quite adept w/ PC games is a nice bonus.
Likewise, if you just play the occasional game but are usually doing other productivity tasks, a Mac is probably a better pick. It's easier to use and has great bundled and available apps for most tasks (lots of good free ones for download too), and if you need to you can set up a Boot Camp partition with XP for the occasional Windows-only game quite easily.
