How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?

The iPad mini doesn't have the same resolution as the "new iPad".
iPad 3 & 4 (retina) = 2048x1536 pixels
iPad 1 & 2 (original) = 1024x768
iPad mini = 1024x768
Apple likely didn't put a retina screen in the iPad mini to keep cost down and to have an option to upgrade the iPad mini to a retina screen down the road, in a year or two.  It could be however that the pixel density of 2048x768 at 9" poses a problem for the viewer, in that text and features might be rendered too small or too thin for the average buyer/consumer.
