: And yeah, where would we be without Halo on the
: Xbox?

Where would the Xbox be without Halo, but by the same token, where would Halo be without the Xbox?

The Mac is hardly where the big gaming money lies and as for the PC, well... I think we can remember the larger PC FPS community turning its nose at the PC version of the original Halo.
It had a following, sure, but while it helped redefine and perfect the FPS on the console, the PC reaction was often a "what's so special about this?" outlook and I don't think it was all the fault of Gearbox.

Halo 2 Vista was hardly been a success story either, but that's somewhat less of a surprise when it limited itself to a new and initially very unpopular OS.
And that the game was pretty old by that point.
Can't really expect the PC port of a 3 year old Xbox game to set the world on fire.
