Xbox Series S Trashed By Tekken Director Ketsuhiro Harada

A senior Xbox official and former Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada walk into a bar. Harada whips up a Dragon Uppercut, but the Xbox official tells him the Series S can't handle that many projectiles on screen.

Harada isn't exactly shy when it comes to saying what's on his mind, so when he actually did walk into a room with an Xbox official at the Console Game Developers Conference 2026 in South Korea, he took the opportunity to tear into the Series S then and there—worrying that other devs being overly polite might give Microsoft the idea to do it again with Project Helix.

"There's something I really want to say while I have the floor," Harada said (translated by Inven Global). "Since a senior Xbox official is actually in attendance here today, I wish hardware like the Xbox Series S wouldn't be released."

The panel, moderated by former Sony president Shuhei Yoshida, also featured Shift Up CTO DongKi Lee, Too Kyo Games CEO Kazutaka Kodaka, CD Projekt Red associate game director Paweł Sasko, and Ludeon Studios CEO Tynan Sylvester. Harada appeared as the CEO of the newly formed VS Studio, and after making it clear he wasn't a fan of the Series S, he turned to his peers and asked Sasko whether he was "upset inside" because of it.

Sasko "burst out laughing" before saying, "It constantly throws challenges at us and forces us to optimize our code very cleanly."

Harada doubled down, "You just used a very polite and elegant way to say, 'Xbox Series S sucks,' right?
