Impossible.
When you're putting out a product you have to have a stop date where there are no further changes to the code based on solid testing. This way full regression testing can be done on static code.
So they have to release with that stable release and then focus on a branched code base which is where the update comes from. That update is individually tested within its branch until prove to be good then it is available for release. Gurantee that happened WELL after initial manufacturing when into place and it was too late to change.
Next batch of console will have update in place after branch is merged with trunk and fully regression tested as well.
