Perhaps that's where the rumors of production troubles started and it's not production troubles, but rather they haven't started production yet because they haven't nailed down the final specs yet. Considering Sony has 3 times the number of consoles available, it's definitely possible.

Besides, they ALREADY can't meet demand. The stores around me have been sold out of the Xbox One for weeks.

This is still 100% rumors at this point, but it does make a little bit of sense.
