It's a combination of factors (so ignore those who simply use this as an opportunity to bash MS and the 360 :)).

MS were last to the market last gen with their first console (the XBox came out 18 months after the PS2), and therefore MS didn't want to make the same mistake this gen, hence the 360 was released first.

Also, for the last two generations, Sony completely dominated the market with the Playstation and PS2, where last gen, the XBox and GC were a *very* distant third place in sales and market share. So this gen, both MS and Nintendo wanted to improve their market share and BOTH have succeeded, MS by releasing the 360 early, Nintendo by releasing a different type of console.

And that's the problem. MS took a risk launching the 360 when they did. The final component to be completed, the Graphics processor (Xenos), wasn't available in development kits until less than two months before the console was launched! This means the *final* hardware would not have enough testing time to reveal the problem we see today. As I said, it was a risk, it could have worked perfectly and no-one would be pointing the finger of blame at MS. But there were problems, and the rest is history.
