All the certification shit for XBL is supposedly in the development kits
I think what he's getting at is that games can't be certified until they're finished.
1) Most devs don't have final dev kits

2) Software needs to be sent for production several weeks before it's launch
+
3) Software needs to go through somewhat rigorous certification before it goes to production.

4) Not a heck of a lot of time for devs.
But, this has been true for every single system launch. But this no dev kits 90 days before launch has got to be a little strange.
