Or you could try the real reasons....
if 1206, 0805 & 0603 resistors all cost the same price
to buy.. and 1206 is 4 times the size of a 0603.. then
you can make 4 times the profit by carving up one
ceramic tile into 0603's instead of 1206's.. this is a
profit driven world after all
my 2 cents worth.

Here is my take:
1206 parts are becoming harder to find and more
expensive that 0805's due to
(in my understanding) the amount of expensive and rare
materials used to
form the end contacts. The amounts in an 0805 are a
fraction of what is
used in a 1206.
I am looking to the future when 0805's might go the
way of the 1206's for
the same reason, and all my new designs are to use
0603 as standard.
Special cases (odd values, large caps, etc.) would
then be the exception.
