That's pretty much Microsoft's last saving grace for Windows on the desktop--gaming. Beyond that, there's very little anybody NEEDS Windows for anymore and even the component manufacturers are starting to court Apple and Android manufacturers for a piece of the future.
Desktop Applications are still the only way to go if you want to do something productive, and guess what, people are actually more willing to spend money on something they need for doing important stuff.

As much as I hate to say it, it's impossible to deny the continued expansion of the mobile space at the expense of the desktop segment (like danramos clearly pointed out).
I only use mobile and tablet when I am on to go. At home my ultrabook still does everything better and is more comfortable to use, at work I have a desktop of course.

Bottomline, the desktop still rulez and will continue to do so for a long time.
