There seem to be many different groups of people work on games: coders, renders, players, marketers, etc. The coders often choose PCs because they need very little processing power, and a PC gives best value for that. Renders need graphics grunt, and Macs is a great choice for that. Gamers want many different things, but some want hardware flexibility, and PCs are best for that. As for marketers, most say, "PC's have 96% of the market, and numbers rule, OK?" A game has to be very good indeed to be worth creating a Mac version.
