why? First off It is Square Enix and a Final Fantasy game. Now, it isn't main series so I wouldn't expect it to get those kind of sales, but the short notice shouldn't hurt it overall.
Also, 1 month is more than enough time with proper advertising to make people aware of a games release. We've known it exsisted for years, so now all they would have to do is put out a ton of screens and gameplay vids and the websites will chew it all up and post it all over the place. Instant hype for those interested. The non-internet addicted gamers would then have to see adverts in a store, which 1 month is more than enough time for.
Maybe it would nerf 1st day sales, as people wouldn't have it pre-ordered, but who cares if the sales over the long run are just as good.
edit: oh, and I'm not really serious about the release date thing. I just think it would be interesting
