I guess Tim is in theory the most powerful. Apple could buy Activision, EA, 2K, SE and Ubisoft, create their own console or gaming service and make all the games from those publishers exclusive to their console or service if they wanted... they have more than enough money to do so. That won't happen though. I wonder what they're planning to do with the tens of billions of dollars they're sitting on... but that's for another thread.

You can't rank Tim Cook as the most powerful man in the video game industry for what he could do. You have to look at what he currently does and I think the iPhone and iPad are not enough to make him that powerful.

Look at bolded :P I wasn't saying he is, I was saying he could be if he wanted.

I have no idea who's currently the most powerful. Is there anyone with significantly more influence than everybody else? Who do you think?
