There's a number of reasons why this is happening, I think:

- People are starting to prefer to consume the stuff digitally, takes less space and is easier to access;
- People are becoming more mobile, so that means that they tend to do more home transfers than the past, so when it happens they load less stuff;
- For these 2 reasons there's less demand for physical stuff and therefore more limited runs (which costs more considering the increase of all the prime materials)
