I wouldn't say that. I would say "vanishing off the store shelves." Since game ports are becoming scarce because of USB taking on a bigger role in consumer peripherals, it's just not been very lucrative to make analog joysticks for the average PC owner any more. However, as many people have pointed out, analog joysticks are still sold for coin-op systems and can be easily rigged for use with a game port style input.
