What, you think the economy works on "supply vs demand"? It's more of a "the rich shareholders demand more money vs tough shit consumer with little-no choice" economy.
I'd assume they're better off trying to recoup their costs by upping the price, selling only half their stock to die-hard customers, and burning the rest. That way the next generation card will still be in high demand because many customers missed on this model, and they can price it highly too.
