The consoles will not have gone into production until final design. As they are mass produced final design itself needs to left as late as possible as it would be expensive and time consuming to change anything once production had started. The production would be the same wherever they are made so it needs to be right once they start rolling off the line. You don't want any mistakes.
Both MS and Sony did a great job producing as many as they did for launch with very few issues. Demand is massive and is outstripping supply, once the initial hardcore demand is finished, things will equalize between demand and supply.
