Physical Media Like Books, CDs, DVD's, Blu-Ray Losing Sales To Digital Media

Not a big surprise, but statistics now available from 2012 indicated the first time digital media sales have outpaced physical media sales of products like books, CDs, DVD's, Blue-ray, etc. Sony announced some time back that it halted producing actual CD's in their Japanese manufacturing plants due to the Japanese Earthquake in May of 2011, and never resumed production. Software distribution via download has all but completely replaced traditional software purchases in a brick and mortar store for some time and other media has followed this trend.
