So devs are asking for more power in terms of ram in the xbox one and clock speed in the gpu.
will this effect the price? how will the system perform with upgrades?
will MS bend to the request of the developers?

The chamber is full of hundreds of variations of prototype Xbox hardware — today, it's set to very cold — and is vital in determining how the Xbox One stands up to extreme thermal conditions. With laughs all around, he's freed from the icy, zebra-filled prison. Surprising no one, the various beta kits of the console itself, the controller and the new Kinect all sport zebra-pattern tape to hide their shape (as rumored).

Plus, I did say it was a rumour so neither the upclock or RAM increase are confirmed.
And it's not just that the veracity of the rumour isn't confirmed, but that the rumour itself does not claim MS are definitely increasing the clocks or RAM.
Apparently, the story apparently is that MS has gone to devs for feedback on a few different things, two of them being an increased GPU clock and an increase to 12 GB of RAM (another thing on the list was storage for 'tombstoning' - I'm guessing flash cache)
Devs have to list which spec changes they prefer in order of importance. So nothing is confirmed as of yet, just options MS is getting feedback on.
However, I do have someone else telling me (also from a dev source) that we shouldn't be surprised to see 12GB of RAM in the final box and that it isn't as hard for MS to do as we think.
