The Studio will never see that money unless it's at that sale. And I'm sure that retailers would much rather have the items not on the shelf than also not making a sale.
Studios would also sell more of those Titles year round at the lower price point, than they would at the higher price.
To me, it seems that everyone would benefit.

It doesn't work that way. New Releases sell well during their first week. After that, everyone moves on to the next batch of New Releases.
Indeed, Target is now in the habit of having better Week Two prices for some titles. That way, they make money during Release Week and pick up a few stragglers during Week Two.
