Gaming is only a fraction of what we need to get people to move away from Windows.

Yes, it's only a fraction, but most of the rest is going to SaaS through web browsers or mobile apps, because companies get to control and force subscriptions that way, but has a side effect of targeting a browser as a platform rather than an OS. Gaming in browser is more in the pain point of browsers, so it's a use case that demands OS.

I think Steam Machines would be successful now.

I can't imaging gaming on not a handheld.
