What was the reason for canon to discontinue the G3 (and the G2,G1)?

I mean, you have an entire A's and S's families to pick from, but only one available from the G's (the G5).

Why is that?
 
I believe, although it has not yet been confirmed, that the G5 is also discontinued, replaced by the Pro1. Sad.

one year, it seems, maybe a few months longer.

A-Eighty: It's a really neat camera, even if it's not black.

Gee-Five: What a fine camera, too, with some great features -- and it's black!
(There! Now I can't be accused of harming newbie camera searches).

All products have a limited time in which they can be competitive, but Canon DOES seem to be turning into the Camera of the Month club.

There is nothing wrong with the G3. Image wise, it competes quite well with the current crop of 5mp & 6mp cameras. Personally, I think the camera manufacturers started using the 5 and 6 mp chips before they were ready for prime time. But I guess the 8meg chip was too close behind the 5 and 6 meg chips and I guess they had to use them or lose the development money.

I havent seen much from the 8mp chip camera that impresses me all that much either. At least not enough to make me dump my G3 for one. I strongly supsect that increasing the life cycle of new technology an additional 18 to 24 months before releasing replacement technology would be as profitable as the current pracitce and better for photography overall.
