Actually, I think it's because Sony and other companies have come out with newer, better SACD players using superior forms of technology. If people can sell their previously-top-of-the-line SCD-1 for a decent price (while they can still get a decent price, before the SCD-1 becomes *badly* outdated), they can put that money toward, say, a Denon DVD-5900, a very well regarded universal player with an MSRP of $2,000 and a street price of maybe $1550 or so.
So while I do not think there is a concert of action element in this case, I do believe that a number of people are independently reaching similar rational conclusions.
