You're going to be running cutting edge games on a Surface? I don't think so. Perhaps in 5 years you could stuff enough electronics in a box the size of a tablet to run current games of today at max settings on something like an Occulus Rift. But then what about the new games 5 years from now? PC Gaming is an arms race which has always required expensive and significant hardware to enjoy at the top level. I don't see tablets replacing that anytime soon.

You can run some pretty decent games on the hardware that ships on the Surface Pro. Sure, you aren't going to want to play BF4 or whatever Bethesda comes up with next, but as hardware cycles continue the playable-game-gap between desktop/laptop/tablet is only going to shrink.
I game today on a 1.5 yr old HP laptop with an ATI 6750M card inside, and it's more than adequate for stuff I've thrown at it. Sure, I'm not gaming on ultra, but my FPS is just fine at low/medium. These days games look just fine at those detail levels, although maybe it's just that I used to play Doom on a 33Mhz 386 and had to shrink the screen size to about a 2x2" square to get decent frame rates.
