There's many factors that caused hitomi's sales to decrease. First, her age plays a role. A while back female singers after 25 were considered old and retired to get married and had families. Hitomi has passed her prime career wise and there's no chance of her regaining more popularity. Another thing is that she was never the "it" girl. hitomi has always had on and off sales. She got fair promotion but much of her career was built on "image" rather than her talents, so her songs and PVs doesn't play a major part in her sales. I think hitomi does sell decently for someone whose been around since 1994.

The Box Set is something Avex wanted to sell for some quick cash IMO
