I've even seen the agreement stores have to sign. @EdEN:

Without them, games wouldn't sell the needed volume for the holidays and profit margins and stock value of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo would fall hard.

People aren't buying, but they are still buying games. I think major retailers are beginning to break street date simply because they need the money right now.

I'm pretty positive I saw my local Gamestop selling a copy of Animal Crossing, and I was confused because I hadn't thought it had come out yet. And sure enough, when I checked, it was on the shelf, and I didn't see any sort of "Coming Soon" tag or anything... hm. Either way, I decided not to buy it amidst my own confusion.
