360 dev kits had 512 MB while the console was at 256 MB. Now xbone dev kits have 12 GB while the console is at 8 GB. Beneath these numbers they are completely different situations, but on the surface it looks like perfect evidence to support the rumor. Hence I believe it's actually the source of the rumor.

Just like the rumor of PS4 being upclocked a few years in. PSP did it true, but they are completely different situations.

This is the differce...

256MB to 512MB = No hardware changes only the use of a more dense memory chip
8GB to 12GB = Hardware changes... PCB, bus width, etc
8GB to 16GB = No hardware changes only the use of a more dense memory chip

I can't see they modifying the hardware too close to release.

PS. Unless they did the hardware changes in early of this year when they know Sony reveled 8GB too.
