Also helps that you don't get so strongly tied to your publisher this way, and are future proofing yourself against the slow degredation of the physical market place for digital goods.
That's probably a less snarky way of saying what I did before.

Except, it doesn`t come in boxes, it comes in a plastic dvd case that even I can buy 100s of for pennies each.
They might sell quite a few copies by digital means, but if this is the only outlet available, what do you expect?
There are those who are fine with the download system, and those of us who prefer the solid physical media. We`ve been promised the latter several times now, yet it still shows no signs of appearing.
Chalk up at least one lost sale due to poor distibution.
