I'm guessing the reason they're focusing more on digital releases is it gets rid of manufacturing costs on producing the CDs themselves, and printing the covers. Paying iTunes once to sell it there seems like an overall easier way to make a profit. There's no worry about an album running out of stock and having to worry about producing more, or the opposite effect where they made too many and because of poor sales they have to shelve what they have left over. It's all there for anybody to pay for and download.
