Possibly when Windows 8 comes out PC gaming will be more similar to console gaming with the way you launch games from an App launcher Wall like the Xbox Dashboard which let you launch games you bought from the Xbox Live rather then clicking on shortcuts on the desktop like a Windows.

The Windows 8 user interface is also more touch and controller friendly.

Onlive, and Gaikai Cloud gaming for PC is doing a decent job at making users being able to quickly switch games, and play other games on their server without the need for the user to look for a shortcut, system requirements, and disk space usage since they take care of the games running on their powerful servers which stream the game to you.

They also support wireless and wired gamepads.
