this looks like the is not much of a margin for retailers in kinect

how so?

They are loosing enough money to justify cancelling the orders of their customers, which mean they have a low margin on it. Low margin is common pratice in video games anyway.

You're really grasping at straws.  I would be willing to be this really was just an error.

These things happen all the time, they just usually aren't on a large scale or that big (nearly half off, at launch!) so it's pretty understandable the cancelled those.
