Gabe Newell recently did an interview where he pointed out that PC software sales were actually on the rise over the last few years. The change though is that much of those sales have been through steam and other digital distribution sources. Of course, Valve would never sell UT3 on Steam, but a lot of current sales are digital distribution on PC. Unlike consoles, digital distribution can actually make up the majority of the sales of individual games on PC. Especially for Valve's games.
