However, due to the listing price is too high, the consumers are not acceptable. Then K-01 experienced a significant price reduction, but the actual sales and not improved significantly. I would like to ask the reason why Pentax discontinued Pentax K-01 Is it because it is overpriced, sold well have to do this?

From Pentax forums...

A：虽然上市时间短，但经销商数量的增多，对于此款机型的销量起到了正面作用。所以，销量还是不错的。
A: Even though it's time on the market is still short, but the of increased retailers (distributors) gave a positive push to the sale of the camera. So, the sale is not bad.
