It's kind of a natural progression in the sale of any product. When a product first comes out, people snap it up. When sales start to dwindle as people move on to a different fashion, fad or gadget, people lower prices to generate continued sale of any given product.

The people who could afford to buy at the new release price have already done their purchasing. The only market left pretty much are the people who couldn't afford to pay the higher price. Lowering the price opens the market up to new consumers. It's the retail version of squeezing blood out of the turnip.
