I don't know, I got SH4 CE for £17 on release, and it received support for a time (granted, it could have been so much better); price isn't always an indicator of success or failure. What it perhaps does show, is that people are either not willing to buy it at the original list price, or not willing to buy it period. In the first case, they will probably make more sales, in the second, no change.

We'll have to wait and see whether the trend continues, but I have a feeling it will stop at £12 for the time being. I cannot see a newly released game being anything below £10, unless it really is a lemon. It may even go up again, as prices fluctuate rather rapidly these days.

Still, Ubi have already made their money from the retailers who have purchased stocks of SH5 at trade prices, thus this retail reduction only affects the seller, not Ubi.
