Hmm, I'm not so sure.  I would always prefer a PC to play games on than
a console.  I don't know why, but I always find them limited?

Slowly, yes. ID's games, and games using their engines have always been
pretty quickly brought over. Because they always supported OpenGL which
is not a problem for Linux, as opposed to Direct3D which is. 

If things like the xBox 360 and upcoming next-gen consoles erode the PC
even more as a games platform, there will be even more people with no
reason to stay on Windows.
