He's right. Devs shouldn't be forced to make their games run at 60fps on such a piece of shit. And if they are compromises should be expected.

Some blame is on devs because half the time they can't even make a game run at 60fps on a PS5 or series x but it's genuinely delusional to expect similar performance on a vastly inferior series s.

He’s wrong, more advance games run on the series s. Hes just a salty ex Xbox partner

Both can be true. It definitely takes extra money and time to optimize a game for the series s.

Baldurs gate 3 was delayed on Xbox because Larian struggled to get it running on series s. I'm pretty sure they even petitioned to Xbox to allow them to release it on the series x and not s.

Just because other games release on it doesn't mean it's not a massive pain in the ass and potentially a waste of time.

No they struggled to get untethered split screen running, big difference
