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.
true, but in some cases steam is better like getting to support indie or those titles you want and don't mind to have it as digital download with the ability to back it up to dvd.

however some titles if you can it's always better to have actual media. i do miss the old days where you would have gotten lekker box, manual (yep one thats more than 10 pages) and the discs...
