Nah, I don't think it's something retailers have to worry much about.

I spend loads of time in London - where 15-24mbps internet is standard, and bandwidth is cheap - and game shops there are still stuffed full of people. I think perhaps you underestimate the value of physical media. Sure, Steam is extremely convenient, and I've bought quite a few games off them over the last couple of years. But I much prefer buying actual discs, and if retail business is anything to go by, so do most other people.
