If I remember correctly it was canceled because they flooded the market with exclusive variants of the CD. At the time vinyl was still unpopular but BestBuy would stock vinyl exclusives. With the market flooded though and every competitor under the sun having their own variant what store in their right mind would stock a variant on what was at the time a dead format.

Add to that the logistical nightmare of pressing, stocking, and supplying these variants. There was no way the record company want to add yet another thing to the pile.
