Tekken game director Katsuhiro Harada says he wishes Microsoft would not release the Xbox Series S, comparing it to having to “do extra work for a slightly weaker child.” Multiple outlets report that his comments focus on how the lower-powered hardware affects development and performance expectations.
The coverage frames Harada’s remarks in the context of multi-platform development, with the central theme being the trade-offs created by a less powerful console variant. IGN and Kotaku both highlight his view that the Series S requires additional work and offers awkwardly lower performance, while VGC presents the same sentiment using the “extra work” and “weaker child” analogy.
Eurogamer adds more situational detail, describing where the comments were delivered and noting that senior Xbox staff were present during the remarks at a developer panel. Across sources, the reports largely agree on Harada’s core complaint, though they differ on the specific event framing and any extra contextual notes.
