I think its because Apple knows they could not possibly keep up with demand if every one of 17million users decided to upgrade.

So they hold prices high till they get ahead of the curve a bit. They have a sequence of multi-country roll-outs to manage and I doubt their contract manufacturing plants can handle the load.
