Xbox controllers use proprietary wireless communication. Microsoft makes some USB adapter that allows them to work on PCs, but I'm pretty sure they only provide drivers for Windows. I believe there is an open source project to get the driver working on Mac OS. I'm not sure how stable or good it is.

My question is, why did you buy a mac? lol

What Dark said, Mac is pretty limited for drivers, and seeing as Xbox is Microsoft, it's probably even more limited. When it comes to gaming, there's a lot of bottlenecks on Macs.
