Doubt it. For what Apple charge for their Dev kit, mos' developers would 
rather stick to Windows.
Ironically, is' the lack of third party support that makes Macs so easy to 
use for industry video. Since there's only one real answer for Apple video, 
there's no competiton. However as far as games an' office tools go, the 
Apple's software strategy serves to drive away most developers from a field 
that requires third party support to create anything worthwhile.
