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.

Valve is the only comapny being widely successful in the PC gaming realm right now though. Thats becasue half-life is god-like and steam is damn good. Other companies arent selling well. Even John Carmack who hates the PS3 with a passion is porting Quake Wars to the 360 and PS3.

Valve is the only company widely successful in the PC gaming realm? Bioware (KOTOR), EA (C&C and The Sims), Blizzard (WoW), Lucas Arts (Empire at War), 2K (Civilization), THQ (Company of Heroes), and Vivendi (more games than I want to write) all say hi. I can't think of anyone who's put serious effort into PC development who's been shafted by it recently. Maybe Activision with Quake Wars, but it wasn't that good a game anyway, and the Quake franchise is pretty much dead.
