"Making It Even Better"

Google, in an email to those that pre-ordered a Nexus Q:

We also heard initial feedback from users that they want Nexus Q to do even more than it does today. In response, we have decided to postpone the consumer launch of Nexus Q while we work on making it even better.

It sure seems like nearly everyone realized this would be a big ball of fail upon seeing it. My question is: how on Earth did no one at Google realize this?
