MS might feel that if they launch it in late '05 they can get a jump on everyone else. Of course that isn't guaranteed, because that's what Sega did and they got destroyed by the PS2 when it finally came out. Maybe they think that they'll Nintendo and Sony will fight each other in mid-06 and leave the Xbox 360 relatively unscathed. That's really the only reason I can think of for wanting to release it early, or maybe they're trying to cash in on the holiday rush.
I couldn't say either way what they're planning to do, although I've heard some say that it's probably late '05 release. If that's what they're planning they'll more than likely have a lot more to show at E3 than Nintendo and Sony.
