They said the exact same things before Vista came out. They advertised how Vista was to revolutinize Pc gaming with DX10, Games for WIndows standards...etc.
kinda naive to think W8 itself is going to change anything. they just want to pump up the games marketplace is all.
An OS release cannot do anything for PC gaming other than offer yet another DX when 2 preivous are barely alive and maybe offer a Launcher more glamorized than
games explorer.
Sales for smaller devices are ever increasing as desktops get far less shelf space at most every store. The only thing i see growing are "indie" games while the runoff console ports stays static enough to not even push my gtx280 muchless a gtx580. Hardware is barely worth upgrading anymore, at least until they start pushing out some real dx11 titles that use full tesselated enviros, sm5.0..etc. ..and thats not happening anytime soon it appears.
