(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
