at that point I think we should go with a wait and see approach.... after all we have nothing to lose everything to gain literally....
the real question here is if they want to change things around do they have already the sourcing capabilities for doing so.... the rest is pretty irrelevant since if they do the change it will be only using designs they have tested in R&D and production of the Xbox for launch at that point in time is probably not started.... so yeah it's doable if and only if they can acquire those redesigned PCB and extra ram chips in time to start production.... which I doubt unless they had already planned for an eventual changed initially which is possible since they haven't released officially final specs for the XB one and nobody has been capable of leaked absolute information so far....
So i'd say it's unlikely but perfectly possible if it had been up in the air for a while.... after all they could have been in talks with manufacturers since end of may and are asking now to devs because they have guarantees they can do.... it who knows.... it's MS we are talking about, they have long lasting partnerships and ties in the industry... you don't just say go fuck yourself to MS when they offer you a multi million if not billion contract.....
