Japanese digital stats depressing
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 November 2010
So, has the digital market well and truly peaked? In some territories it seems so. The Recording Industry Association Of Japan has released digital sales stats for the first three quarters of this year, and sales are down 5% in terms of units and 4% in terms of cash value.
These include the figures for mobile music sales, mobile downloads having always been bigger in Japan than web-based services, and it’s the mobile space that has seen the bigger decline. In fact internet-based downloads were up 5% year on year in terms of units, though revenues were the same as the same period last year.
