How are they going to update the hardware?

Simple: they aren't.

Emotion engine, CGI-quality graphics, dual HDMI output, 7 controllers, gigabit ethernet hub, reality synthesizer, spring 2006.
What do all these have in common? They are all things that Sony hopes its fans will forget about.

Add this major screw-up to the list.

o.0 That has absolutely nothing to do with the statement. How many versions of the xbox were there? 10. Sony will tweak the hardware and make some changes to it in the future if need be. No console is ever perfect on launch. That's life.
The features which were removed from the e3 specs were useless. Someone came to their senses and realized there's no way in hell you need dual hdmi, or an intigrated gigabit hub. And the console does still support 7 controllers.. The power of this console is far from being utilized do not discount any claims on graphics/ai just yet.

None of the changes to the Xbox throughout its life modified its functionality.

I guarantee you, if Sony were to add a hardware scalar (accessible by the devs) it would break something else. That's just the way computers are.

Besides, how are they going to explain to early adopters that they need to go out and buy the PS3.1? Read up on those other forums -- plenty of the posters there are refusing to purchase PS3s as it is.
