They might not pull the games that are out now, as those aren't covered by the law unless they retroactively apply it to those games (which would be even more pointless then the entire law is). But they would likely not accept new games that have this new label as it's considered obscene which is a similar reason to why you don't see porn in stores like Wal-Mart.

"Obscene" material can also be overly violent, sacrilegious or otherwise offensive. Wal-Mart's internal policies are not dictated by the government. The recent Medal of Honor game was banned on military bases. Wal-Mart still
carries it. I really don't see Wal-Mart, Best Buy or Gamestop passing up MOH or COD game sales just because the government slaps a new sticker and an age limit on it.
