I don´t understand why they banned the consoles, it is not their fault to receive it earlier than the rest, they should let it enjoy the console because he payed for it.

They didn't ban as such, they just blocked them from going on Xbox Live because right now its a controlled environment for testing readiness for launch and having 150 more people on there breaks that control.
The same way if I was launching a new website I would block all IPs except my own for testing as having random people dropping on there, seeing it broken, can have unexpected consequences and also gives a bad first experience. Its likely not all the servers are actually enabled right now, an extra 150 people could overload it.
