Should the quad core Mac Pro be discontinued?

I was browsing the Apple site earlier and was thinking about the quad core Mac Pro and whether Apple should or will discontinue it. This thought came as Apple offer the iMac which is all quad core where the Mac Pro is built for a user that would normally want the extra power.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Did you mean "Discounted" as in a price reduction or "discontinued" as in a product that stops being sold? Given the context, I assumed you meant "discontinued". I apologize If I looked at it wrong.

0	Theres no need to discontinue it. I personally purchased a quad core i7 iMac but I would not discontinue to Mac Pro. Its great if people want a base quad core computer and then want to upgrade as they wish. answered Dec 25 '11 at 17:41 Fish 7.3k●109●144●215

I think that Apple will keep making the Mac Pro but only on request for it. Big media companies need a high powered machine to edit and produce videos. If Apple does discontinue it they will probably double the iMacs specs so it will be just as fast.
