To slow down the cars.
and to make it cheaper .... since it was gettin to be a one horse race. all the big teams have massive-> unlimited budgets.....while the private teams are simply there to make up the numbers

I'm almost positive they are doing this to cut costs for the lower tier teams to create some balance between teams.

Well, that happens to be a horsepower track - a horsepower deficit would show up there.
Now, given that the new engines are lighter and smaller, that means a lighter and more compact chassis package. I would venture to guess that the it would be a lot closer at tracks like the Monaco and San Marino.
They'll claw back though. Some of the engines are turing over 20K rpm in testing already. The primary concern is vibration - some of the test drivers are getting headaches from it.
I think companies like Honda, Toyota and especially Cosworth will have an advantage next year. Ferrari hasn't got a prayer if you ask me - they simply haven't got the resources (or experience) to come up with a completely new engine (V8) and be competitive right away.

Ferrari is basically a racing company IIRC, all they do is make fast cars and make them go faster.

They have little experience with racing V8's vs. Cosworth who have been doing it since the 60s.
And while Ferrari builds street cars so they can go racing, they're still tiny compared to giants such as Toyota and Honda who have a lot of experience with small displacement high revving engines.
