That's only part of the story.

The other part is "AI", physics sim and stuff like that. If you've maxed 
out the GPU and have no way to add visual incentives to buy, you can 
start focusing on making the gameplay more complex.

If the gaming industry won't find any other way to keep additional CPU 
cores busy, they'll go on smartening the AIs, adding more physics 
effects, getting rid of level transitions, and what-have-you-not.

And maybe ultimately they might even start inventing innovative game 
concepts ;-)
