Right. Lower sales has nothing to do with the trash they've been increasingly putting out.
Downloads do not hurt sales. What they do is polarize sales.
Bad albums don't sell nearly as well because people download them, try them out and delete them - instead of wasting their money buying them only to find out that they are bad.
Good albums sell more - because people download them, try them out and see how good they are.
