Work machines and play machines. Tablets have games, but PCs have Games. Imagine Counterstrike on a touch interface. Imagine Dota. Good lord, imagine EVE Online. If a game demands more than a single input at a given time then just... Forget using a simple touch interface. I'm not disparaging what tablets and smartphones have because there's fun stuff on them! I love some of the offerings I've encountered. But PCs are going to be the province of competitive strategy, FPS, and MMORPGs for a good long time. There are some things the touch interface and the console control pad just can't handle, not as well.
