RedHat, Canonical, Novell or some other company with a ton of money needs to throw a ton of money at developing games/a gaming platform based on Linux. It's the only thing that it needs.
Honestly, how can Mac succeed when its locked to overpriced hardware and doesnt really offer any killer features?
With console gaming slowly killing PC gaming, there isn't going to be much of a chance of getting game publishers to make the games cross platform. That is why some company needs to step up and create there own Linux based gaming console. Instead of Xbox, i suppose you could call it LXBox... I'm sure there are more creative people than me than can make up something catchy.
The idea that games made for the Linux console, can also run on regular Linux desktops. This would get an entirely new crowd in front of a Linux machine, as well as make it easier for the many of us who use windows just for our favorite games to convert completely.
Having a core technology like this would create a snowball effect, consequently improving driver support and lord knows what else.
Redhat is probably the only Linux company with the resources to pull this off, and so redhat, I implore you. Develop a Linux based gaming console and throw some many at game development.
