CD Stores are a niche, though I understand what you're saying because technically vinyl records are still being sold as well, even though they haven't been mainstream since 1991. However, it is not easily comparable to games since games cost a whole lot more to make than music.

Besides still a ton of people who want their physical copies and having them on their shelves.
The fact that very few companies make actual manuals for their games anymore is reason enough for me to quit get physical copies. Having them on my shelves is pretty dumb because they're pretty much full already. Besides that, most of what's actually good these days are indie titles, which are download only (Super Meat Boy being a notable exception in that it does come in a boxed copy). So I honestly don't care.
