IDK how well the game will run but remember that the Macbook has no dedicated graphics card. Keep that in mind. New models usually stay at the same price points as the current ones. Apple rarely changes on it's prices. A glass trackpad seems to be exactly that, a trackpad made out of glass. 
I guess no one knows until they release it do they?

It has Intel integrated graphics which is not a "real" graphics card like the Nvidia 8600m GT or something like that. Basically it means that it's ability to run graphic intensive games is compromised. However I do not own one so i do not know exactly what level of games they are capable of.
The graphics card is integrated in the Northbridge. A dedicated graphics card would be separate chip.
the game will run fine - it does well on my integrated graphics chip - its an old 82852/82855 graphics controller that uses 64MB -- and the macbook, in MAC OSX uses 144MB of RAM for graphics - and in Windows Vista - it uses 358MB Of Ram for graphics (and yes, that's why games seem to run better in Vista on a macbook than they do on OSX)
which answers a lot of your questions -- about how hard a macbook is to get when they are first released, i have no idea.
