It is more complicated then that. Publishers and developers have set contracts with distrbutors as well as in production (this applies mainly to the physical copies such as disks, cases and shipping but also to Go-Live contracts set out by software vendors). Such contracts are rarely flexible when it comes to high volume orders such as these, so BioWare had a deadline to meet but had to counteract the subversion done by the leak. There is a lot more to the gaming industry then making the games so I will put my faith in BioWare until they confirm otherwise.
