Gamers are not going to run OSX with no games, and game developers are not going to develop for OSX if people can boot Macs to Windows.

Once Windows supports the right hardware, it should be easy to boot Windows on a Mac. I don't think Apple is worried about that. OTOH, VM software is getting pretty good, and there's no architecture-translation performance penalty for the Intel Macs.

The problem is with software development. Why go to the expense of dual development if you can switch to Windows while running a Mac?

I run Windows programs on my G4 Mac now - with MSFT's blessing. Its a bit slow but it works and with Intel Macs it will be the same technology but with a native (vs emulation) instruction set.
