There used to be these articles with the title "The year of the Linux mobile phone" around 2006. If anything we will see something like Android /using/ Linux. Linux is, after all, just a kernel.
Having said that, the gaming platform (The Android OS if you will) of 2013 will probably be HTML5.

Steam has now officially launched its Linux client, rounded up a surprising number of Linux games, and is selling all of them at a decent discount for a week. It's do or die time for games on Linux. There is currently no such effort for HTML5 games and I can't see what the advantage would be in making yet another incompatible platform on top of the Linux kernel.
