Because consoles cost a ton of money to make, and they had to go into production sometime this year.
If they started producing it this year and lets say built 1 million of them in anticipation of a summer launch, not to mention accessories and such, then that's about 200-300 million dollars in losses on their full year fiscal results.
If they produce most of what they sell this year, then they recover what they spent plus a little more. It would allow them to at least come close to breaking even, if not make a profit.
