PC sales decline has very little to do with people moving to other platforms or form factors and is more a result of PC's now being powerful enough that the lifecycle is much much longer. 10 years ago people were upgrading every 1-2 years, before that it was sometimes every 9-12 months just to try and keep up. Nowadays a 5 year old PC is good enough for just about everything and even for gaming you can survive on an old rig or spend a little just to upgrade the graphics. This makes annual sales decrease significantly but doesn't really reduce user base.

Oh...So how do computer companies such as HP still manage to do well? 

They Don't, HP have been struggling for quite a number of years now, though their bread and butter is corporate/enterprise market.
