It doesn't matter how Steam is cross-platform as soon as no one bothers to develop games for other platforms.
BTW about 10 years later none-console gaming will be such a niche we'll see less and less games, and only lemonade tycoon quality :)

Cue a post explaining in detail why that "doesn't count" in 3... 2... 1...
Look at the sales of PC games and console games. It's clear that PC games are going down. Many companies don't even release PC versions any more.
PC gaming is more expensive, you got keep your hardware up to date and that's truly expensive. A good graphic card's price is more expensive than an XBOX 360.
Piracy is a big issue in gaming and piracy rate in console is much lower (none in PS3, although potentially next year we'll see PS3 as well).
Developing games for a fixed hardware is much easier unlike developing games for a platform such as PC or God forbid, Linux.
PC is going to a be only niche players complex MMORPGs, indie game developers, some RTSs.
