I think this is because your typical x5 buyer never intended to be an x7 buyer and someone that wanted a big SUV would never settle for an x5. Before the x7 showed up, the BMW people who wanted a big SUV probably went over to Benz and Land Rover. I think the x7 is taking sales from the MB GLS, Range Rover and the big American SUVs like the Navigator and the Escalade.
