Nah hardware changes 4 months before launch are not very feasable. But the specs being different from what was leaked over a year ago is a very real possibility, especially considering M$ has not released official final spec info.
We know both companies have leaked incorect specs to keep the other on their toes.
Reading the article, and got to the 3rd bullet point
The Xbox One development team is asking for developer feedback on changes they would want to see hardware wise.
Why would MS be asking that question 4 months from release? not saying it isn't true but that is a big ass red flag too me. This system should be at some manufacturing plant, not in the ask developer phase, that should have happened in 2010 or 11. If that bullet point is true, I would not buy a XB1, because they did not give themselves adequate time to rigorously test the machine. Just sound fishy as hell too me.
The PS4 added 4gb of RAM about 2 1/2months ago. I guess to your expert opinion that is enough time. But are you an expert on these things to say how much time is needed. If you are anyone here is, please further elaborate
The acticle itself says the upclock was always the case. But they didn't want to reveal anything because they didn't want sony to counter. Just like sony if the PS4 is gonna launch this year? They already had 8gb of GDDR5 ram as there target. Thats what is REALLY going on here, thats why we don't have final specs for either. I've mentioned this, but fanboys on the sony side only care about having THE BEST!!! and don't pay attention to whats really going on...
True, but at the May 2013 reveal a bullet point was 8GB of Ram. So bumping up to 12GB's is just like Rekkapryde said will require a lot of work at this point.
If you or Rekka have any incite on even "How much Work" that would be? We are all ears Please read Rekkaprydes post next to see what I'm talking about when I said previously about fanboyism just caring about THE BEST!!!...
Bruh, they never divulged full specs because they weren't better than the competition's... All they said was 8 gigs of ram (5 for games, 3 for OS as we found out). If the XB1 was truly stronger than the PS4, you think they'd hold back on bragging about their specs? Of course not.
Every XB1 rumor from earlier this year ended up true, but now we are supposed to believe that they are again changing something at the last minute?
we got the specs and board details. It's done.
The only plausible thing they can truly change is the GPU clockspeed, but even then, they just can't magically make it the same as the PS4 without a mobo redesign. Same with adding more ram. These units are being manufactured right now. To make a change like this would delay the system. Changing the mobo automatically delays the system, they just can't do SOME of these things without doing so.
MS execs have been in reactionary mode for a while now. I think delaying the system to increase it's power might not be a bad idea, but there's no way in hell they do that. MS doesn't have the worldwide brand recognition with the Xbox to catch back up to the PS4 like the PS3 did.
Just bite the bullet, and drop the price 100 bucks and keep Kinect in it. OR bring back the rumored subscription model, they gotta do something because this shyt will be a bloodbath this holiday season worldwide.
I'd like to send a special shout out to two of @Prince Akeem notification boxes
I should go back and dap his post too!!!
Quick, somebody show this man Titanfall
I only speak the ONE language, What the drilly with that though. It SOHH bangin

I'm trying to figure out why I took this dude off of ignore

Even though they aren't, let's assume the leaked specs are wrong and that the GPU isn't as gimped compared to the PS4 (even though these numbers also have been proven right). MS themselves said it would have 8 gigs at their reveal. If they up it to 12, they'd have to order an entirely new memory type than what they have now. The memory slots on the XB1 mobo have been shown. They'd have to effectively dump all the memory they bought and get larger memory to fit the slots. And that's only if they can do that. If they want to keep the orders of what they currently have, they'd have to change the mobo and add slots to accompany the extra 4 gbs they want to put in place (theoretically).
You just aren't making hardware changes like this at this point in the game. Overclocking the GPU is the only realistic thing they can do without delay and redesigning/testing.
We know what's inside the Xbox One. Have yall forgotten that Wired was able to get one and broke it down to see what was on the damn board? The leaks were verified.

So you guys only believe what you wanna believe. Then you run with it as fact the entire time you discuss this stuff. I personally will not waste another moment of my life discussing things with beings who have no desire for the truth. I'm over here having fun, but I don't agree in it being fun acting like immature fanboys stanning consoles for the sole purpose to pass along lies as facts. I don't embrace one set of rumors while debunking another. I never said PS4 couldn't add 4gb of RAM, I only asked how and never got a reply. I asked how adding 4gb of RAM would help unless the GPU was changed. I found out on another website it couldn't unless the PS4 was either delayed or already planned for it. Since nobody outside of insiders at sony could begin to answer that question, I stopped asking you experts on that. I have asked about PSN and its improvements and all I got in return was a bunch of name calling. So its clear whats going on around here. Fanboys are furious Let me drop this knowledge on you...
Like the student love the teacher
Like the prophet love Khadija
Like I love my baby features
Like the creator love all creatures
Who are knowledge, truth, and peace seekers
We on point like heat seekers
Targettin the black marketing strategists
Run up on em with the heaters
Everybody followin with no leaders
Feelin like we killin ourselves
Because I know they can't defeat us
It don't stop til we complete this, keep this fly
There's so much to life when you just play knack and die
I keep seeing people say the machines are being manufactured right now. Do we know this for sure? Do we know how hard it is to update the memory on these consoles? Is it a matter of switching out DIMMS? I ask because I've taken the 360 apart and stripped it down all the way to the bare metal. I don't ever remember any memory just sitting in there that I could pop out and replace. Now I know the Xbone is a different system, but I have to believe you can't just open the damn thing up and put new memory in it like a PC. Though that would be pretty cool if you could.
