They probably overstuffed the channel with the inferior bundles, and the retailers just didn't have room. That's the downside with overstocking. Space costs money.

Retailers put the order in don't they? It would surely rub the retailers up the wrong way if MS dictated what they should have.

Microsoft has a habit of pushing an agenda. Usually cutting a deal if they order a certain amount of X, Y, Z. So most probably did, and then filled the remaining space up with the cheaper bundles. Microsoft has a lot of clout, and it seems they could be flexing it.
