You don't really "install" games on the PC anymore.
Games you buy on Steam, Origin, uPlay, GoG etc' are downloaded and run as-is with the exception of a mandatory install of Visual Basic Runtime and Direct X to make sure everything will work fine.
That's where the bulk of PC games sales are anyway, which would be the more relevent comparison point, if you buy a game on one of those shiny drink coasters, then you have a choice to download with the product key or install.
