Supply, demand, and opportunity cost.

You can find used consoles pretty much anywhere - just check out your local gaming store.

Demand is pretty low - nobody wants to pay high prices for an older console when newer better ones are around.

Finally, in order ot produce new consoles, factories would have to be reconfigured and many different companies that supply the specialized parts would need to cooperate as well. There is very little profit to be had in producing the much older gaming system. That is why MS is instead focusing on their newer system, the xbox 360, to maximize their profits. If they went back and produced more original xboxes, then supply for the 360 would go down, and then stock shortages would occur.

cause M$ ditched it like a bad habit (they were losing money on it) and tried to dominate the next gen by forcing original xbox owners to upgrade.

And don't think they wont do the same with the 360.....you've been warned.
