By intentionally introducing a long artificial delay.
They pick a date several weeks after shipping that every store is likely to have recieved stock and be ready. Stores receive stock in the meantime but are forbidden to sell it.
They don't tell consumers when they've shipped it and many retailers could have physically sold the device days, if not weeks, before the 'launch' date. .. if it weren't for the manufacturer forcing them to not give their customers what they want.
I've seen this with software but I cant recall a time i've seen this happen
with any device.
Usually the stock of hardware wont really arrive early at all.

"Tech pundit John Dvorak has long been known for his inflammatory opinions. Many have suspected that these opinions are just a way to drive up traffic to his column. Now, we have it straight from the horse's mouth: Dave Winer has Dvorak on video describing his methodology for trolling the Mac community to pump up his stats."

This whole "shipping from the factory" is a bunch of crap. I don't care when it ships from the factory. I care when I can give them payment and receive the product in return.
