along with final testing and production, changing a release date that has been announced a while ago would probably screw up many retail stores that carry the game and the shipping companies that deliver the game.
they probably also want to give people more time to pre-order it.
last, they probably want it to get the perfect amount of hype for it that people would be dying to buy it. if they release it too soon, theres not enough hype. too late, and people would get sick of hearing about it
