i believe the real issue is not the hardware team. but the top management
like the Series S issue. no way the developers behind it not aware of the problem. even non-professional fans could think some of obvious stuff. im not suprise the decision to push for some stuff like Series S development is not due to the developers feedback but more like the higher up and perhaps their bussiness team's idea. those are the real issue.
if this is the case, they need to separate the line between the technical aspect of developing console hardware vs bussiness decision goal. a proper balance is a must. if they cant do this, no use to change team. heck they could bring Mark Cerny and nothing could change. PS4 and PS5 for example was developed with developers in mind foremost. while since Xbox One era, lot of dumb decision is not due to the hardware team but obviously someone on top. like Kinect, always online things, Series S etc. which is such a shame that since Xbox one X, they made some fantastic hardware but got handicapped buy stuff that out of the hardware team's hands.
