 but IMO production theoretical capabilities is not the issue here...

On the contrary, manufacturing capabilities are the key to understanding why console availability will likely be limited. First of all, 28nm lines are not growing on trees, and if you couldn't get enough time allocated at TSMC (or GF, probably the more risky path), good luck then with your yields instead. It's not like MS and Sony are the only customers, all the 28nm lines are very likely "sold out" until way into 2014. Secondly you need someone to assemble all the boxes, and Foxconn/Pegatron do not have unlimited manufacturing capacity, since again, MS and Sony are not the only ones going into Xmas season.
