Also remember guys, just like I was told in the PSMove thread, this could be just GAME telling people this so that they would go there and preorder it. Remember that these are the only guys claiming all this stuff.

This is also the same chain that is closing 85 stores in the UK within the next couple of years.

 

This could be a ploy to increase preorders for the Kinect and get people to go into their stores.

This was my thought when I read the OP.  If Microsoft plans on selling 3 Million Kinect units this holiday they can't afford to have retail shelves bare for any period of time.  It is possible they may undership units at release to continue the pre-holiday hype and then release a boat load of units on Black Friday to satisfy demand.  I wouldn't count on that though.

I third this.  Whenever you see the recommended action to be "so you better preorder" then you should always question their intent.  They ARE in the business of preorders.
