The PC market itself, as even the NPD says, is dominant (the reason I say even is the North America vs. International issue). It just doesn't move new games as rapidly as consoles do.
As far as games you can pick-up right now that might give your system some problems:
-Company of Heroes in DX10 w/Max Settings
-World in Conflict
-Crysis (duh)
-Call of Juarez
-Sins of a Solar Empire (max out the settings/AA and then pit 2000+ ships against each other; either way, the game is set-up so that there is no hard performance cap, meaning the game can expand along with your system's capabilities)
Those are just the ones I've run across. As far as '08 goes, there will always be some games that are just flat-out console ports. But Far Cry 2 and Alan Wake I know for certain are doing something special for the PC, and I'm certain they're not the only ones. Left 4 Dead likely will as well because a different development team is handling the 360 port.
