Or even more simply, the marketing department doesn't want its job to be overstepped and properly control the messaging behind any announcement at a better time so they asked that part of the quote to be removed so they could do their job properly.

It's very unlikely that in 2 weeks they went from confident enough to announce or strongly insinuate a late-year release to a cancellation or delay.

Things can change in days,  we had the hard interview with Angryjoe and Hryb back in the day  with how xbox one needs to be always online and a few days later MS magically changed their always online policy.

Yes, Because consumers said they did not want it. That's material enough to make MS change their policy. Here we have nothing of the sort and the 2 week timeframe makes it very unlikely that something alike did pop. 

It is possible, something like AMD telling them the chip they need would need to be delayed or else could have happened, but It's just unlikely in that timeframe and after they were confident enough to make such a statement.
