Canon Pixma 8500 discontinued?!!!

I was surprised to see that the Canon Pixma 8500 (as well as other Pixma
models) are being discontinued. Does anyone know the reason for this? I
take it they weren't hot sellers or something? I just bought mine about 6-7
months ago.

I hope they keep manufacturing the inks for it for a long while yet.
