While I agree a lot of games in future will be built for one PC-based server and streamed to all other devices it's not accurate to say they'll be PC games as even PCs will be playing the same streamed game. In fact streaming game services will help to quicken the demise of the classic table-top PC. There will be no need for a power PC when you can play the exact same games right off your smart TV, or tablet, or whatever.

Nintendo I expect will continue to make consoles that offers gameplay such streaming services can't cater too (like Wii's motion controls) and as long as they are successful enough, 3rd parties will make/port games to them. Sony and MS might well morph Xbox/Playstation brands into online game streaming services though.
