I think the decision to skip the normal edition and only release the Edition Formerly Known As Special also has to do with dropping CD sales. Not just for Genesis. I just read an article about that, and they said that these days 50,000 sold CDs per week can almost guarantee you the #1 spot in the German charts and that nowadays it was virtually impossible to sell more than a million CDs of any new release in the US. So why split sales between a normal and a special edition?

or maybe they read my post #3 here and realized there was not a heckuva lot of difference between the two without any further bonus materials to distinguish them
