Surely because they're more committed to their fans than those filthy other companies.

Who knows, but until they give me specific numbers from their digital sales I don't care that they share slightly more information about their sales to shareholders than other companies.

What's so important about digital numbers specifically, do tell?

Those are the interesting numbers that will paint the full picture. Physical only sales data is basically useless nowadays.
