Its way more complicated that that.  Just because a group of people are excited about what they are doing does not mean the product will be a success.  Instead what makes a product a success is strong leadership in understanding how to execute whatever their vision is for a product.  A strong direction and understanding of what is required for a successful product is way better than people being excited about what they are doing.  I have been on many projects where people were excited about what they were doing but miss big time on what would make the project a success.  Also having to many cooks in the room can make a product appear incohesive which is also an issue.  

I know it is. What I'm saying is, they need to make sure the team is on board when deciding on what project to make and then go from there. 

I still disagree with this as well.  Its not whether the team is on board, its whether the team has a clear vision of what they need to do.  You will always get to much opinions on what the team needs to do but there needs to be a clear leader who knows exactly what should be done and knows how to execute that plan.  I have been in way to many meetings where everyone has an opinion and if you let everyone opinions run wild you never get anything done.  There needs to be that leader who can take everyone opinion, make a decision some times even tough decisions that will not make everyone happy and then execute it.  This is where I see the problem in this report the most is that the leadership did not know how to execute what they wanted and thus the whole project is rudderless and will fail.
