I would be willing to bet the division of LG that is producing this phone has been going all out for the last month or so with production. I really doubt LG/Google underestimated demand, they probably knew there was no way they could ever meet demand so what is the point of offering preorder.

Apple has this problem as well, but apple has many more resources under their belt to produce these types of devices as compared to LG.

Could also have to do with suppliers. If LG can only get 500,000 displays by Nov 13, they know they can only complete 500,000 phones and probably that they will sell out immediately.
