James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is so certain Daniel Craig will be a huge hit playing 007, she has already started working on the sequel to forthcoming movie Casino Royale. Craig has come under intense scrutiny since he was announced as Pierce Brosnan's successor last year, with die hard fans setting up a website encouraging cinema-goers to boycott his debut as Bond. But Broccoli is convinced Craig is the perfect person to give the traditionally suave superspy a grittier, rawer edge. And she has shown her commitment to Craig's appointment by announcing his second role before Casino Royale has even completed filming. She says, "We are already working on the sequel. We're in the early stages of that. It will be an original story but will continue part of what the story is in Casino Royale."

The people who produce the bond movies probably wanted to get a new face in the spotlight for bond.
or
Pierce Brosnan had other movie opportunities and didnt want to do bond this time.
or
Pierce Brosnan thought he wasnt getting enough money from the bonds' movies so he stop doing them.
FYI the new bond is called Casino Royale and you can learn about it and watch the trailer at http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808476050/info it comes out November 17th 2006.

The producers wanted to reboot the franchise, because they lost their way with the last few Bond flicks, in terms of quality. Plus, Brosnan's 52 (I think) and though I felt he had one more Bond left in him, it was best to drop him, before he reached Roger Moore status. Moore was a few years shy of 60, in his last Bond flick, and he retired from the role, due to his aging.
Brosnan's very last appearance as Bond was in the 2004 video game, 007:Everything or Nothing, so if you like video games, it's available for cheap. Pick it up!

every bond only gets a few movies. I mean there have been so many. He had to be replaced some time. You can't have an old james bond.

From what I gather, he was perfectly willing to stay on for another movie or two, so it wasn't him who walked away from the role. The producers wanted to sort of "reboot" the franchise with a younger, greener Bond at the beginning of his 00 career, so they decided to recast the role.
