    You are neglecting the time value of money. Money in hand now is more valuable than that same amount in hand later. This was one of the most basic principles in my engineering economy class, and I presume it applies to businesses in general. It gives them money to invest in now so as to have even more money later on. That said, a month or two probably won't make a difference. To large businesses, this stuff is calculated on the basis of continuous interest if I remember right. So from their perspective, they make more money if we preorder than if we buy on launch, not to mention them having the ability to server resource demand. From our perspective, since most people sit on their money in general and do little more than stick it in a savings or checking account, it is the same amount, though.
