EqD did a post about this a while back: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/10/hasbro-conference-call-reveals-possible.html

Long story short, Hasbro decided that because of FiM's huge success, they can rake in the same revenue in future seasons without making as many episodes. Their target audience will always be children, and most little children don't mind rewatching episodes.

It disappointed me that it all boils down to money, but hey. I guess that's how the world is now.

Hope that helped.
