They really couldn't wait any longer.
The headstart from the others would have been too much to overcome. Since it was already due in the Spring of 2006 another delay beyond Fall 2006 would have made people wonder if it was worth the wait.
While Europe & the other PAL regions would have been a little more forgiving this might have caused problems for their other markets.
Competition forced them to launch when they did.
