(Update) Wish you could save some money and release your next product digital only? That one decision could cut sales by 65% and more, according to some analysis by Glenn Peoples of Billboard. While digital's share is growing around 3-6% a year, even the smallest releases still sell more physical product than digital. Here's the proof:
2010 New Release Sales
- 500,000+ – 17.7% digital
- 100,000 to 500,000 – 20.4% digital
- 50,000 to 100,000 – 23.8% digital
- 10,000 to 50,000 – 27.2% digital
- 1,000 to 10,000 – 33.7% digital
- 100 to 1,000 – 48% digital
