If whats on the self is any indicator, PC games are indeed on their way out, and have been for some time.

No, it's not an indicator. A vast majority of PC game purchases are done via digital download or ordered via web and shipped directly. From the article someone posted not long ago, it's gone up some since last year.
As an indicator of that, my brother-in-law related a story to me of asking a clerk at a Gamestop a couple months ago where all their PC games were. The clerk looked at him, with wonder and shock, and told him 'everyone buys those online now'.
