How does having an empty box save space from a full box? If anything, your way takes up more space as you need the dedicated drawer rather than just the shelves.

Old department stores used a glass case and kept things locked, making browsing by anything but cover art impossible. You can get away with that at Walmart, but some of us still see value in the back of the box when we browse.

you can put any disc into it

you don't need more boxes than expected sales for the day

in other words, you can have 20 boxes max and put 300 discs in the drawer

if you sell 15 games that day, you just get 15 more boxes from the warehouse

alternatively, you would have to put 300 boxes on the shelf if you didn't open them all and strip them of their contents to put inside the drawer

Or you could just leave the in the cases and only take what you expect to need out or the warehouse at the beginning of the day. Since the cases leave with the customer you'd still need to hit up the warehouse anyway if you ran out, so all you've achieved (aside from making sure sealed games aren't easy to steal as I've said) is a make work project of taking games and putting them into sleeves, only to put them right back upon sale.. Of course, that would depend on your store. At mine the "warehouse" are small rooms that double as the manager's office, so I doubt there's much more stock than what's out.
