After the extended slow motion train wreck that was Phil Spencer's leadership, it'd be a big improvement to have a halfway competent head of Xbox.

I remain skeptical of Asha due to her AI background, but it would be nice if she's able to get Xbox out of the rut its been bogged down in for years now.

I would say "so far, so good". Asha, at least on the surface, looks to be very concerned about the future of Xbox. In fact, based on her words, she wants to make the system relevant once again.

Yeah, one thing we should all agree on is that no matter what people may fear. There is a change of leadership and while this comes with a lot of unknown; those are still changes. So anything can happen.

As you said, based on her words (you can choose to believe them or not), it looks good to me.
