Doesn't necessarily mean the PC is thrown out but where once they might have upgraded a computer or bought another (perhaps for a child/teenager) they might buy a tablet instead. The products are competing for the same disposable income and in very much the same field and also they compete for time and attention and the dollars will follow those.
What do most people spend most time doing on PCs? Web browsing, email, games, reading news and YouTube? All those things are well supported on tablets and for some they may be better suited to the tablet.
Sure the PC is better for development and serious writing but that is only a fraction of usage and writing doesn't need a very modern computer (or Windows 8).
