PC gaming sales at the boxed, retail level aren't what they used to be. Now most of the game sales action in stores happens for consoles, but PC gaming is taking the lead in online digital distribution. Make no mistake, however, as there are still many PC gamers who make the trip to the store just to have a physical copy for snuggling purposes.
