It’s not weird at all. They’ll be tweaking things they don’t have signed contracts for right up until reveal, and they won’t reveal until the tweaking is done.

What’s being sent out to developers are formless computer boxes that either house the performance hardware that will be used, or have very similar specs to what’s expected to be in the final product, plus the operating system, SDK, and accompanying libraries.

At my last place of work, we had some Wii devkits in storage. They looked like old stereo equipment, and told you literally nothing about what the system would look like out of the box.
