uh, citation needed? You'd at least have to specify whether you mean "offered for sale" or "purchased by users", because I suspect a big chunk of game sales volume comes from AAA games which are probably going to be native ports.

Agreed, working in game development, I've very rarely heard of people using the Codeweaver's approach for commercial Mac ports.
I think this is just a case of playing a game of mishearing/misremembering.

A lot of EA's stuff is ported to Mac with Cider/TransGaming. From memory The Sims 3 is done that way.
