Don Coyner, the man who led the design of the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 has been replaced as the design of the next Xbox started.
Don Coyner is the General Manager of Entertainment Design at Microsoft and he hasn't been fired, but it has been confirmed by two sources inside Microsoft that he won't lead the design of the new console like he did with the first two. Apparently Coyner has been replaced by Emma Williams, a fellow General Manager at Microsoft. Emma was involved with the creation of the new Xbox 360 dashboard which was released earlier this month.
This personal change might aim only to bring new ideas and creativity to the design, but it seems to us that the main reason is to have the new console experience revolve more around "natural interface" through kinect.

Since the new lead designer
Since the new lead designer was also the one who created the 2011 December dashboard(and its a woman now), I can predict the new Xbox will be simpler than the 360

Always the same people...
As always you blame the greedy shareholders and chairmen who want the product rushed out the door before it can be properly tested. This is never the fault of the design team when they aren't given ample time to complete the product.
So... how should I blame when
So... how should I blame when the next Xbox gets RROD? or RDOD? or whatever the hell they use to tell you it's fried.
