If Xbox had 15 more million units sold I doubt Phil would be saying anything because he'd probably still just be the head of MGS and not the head of Xbox in its entirety. The only reason he was promoted is because the previous regime fucked the brand so hard with the Xbone launch. So 15 million more sold and of course it would be an entirely different story. You can play that game with every company in every direction. After all, these are all corporations and all are after your money.

I guess it's just an inconvenient truth that Phil was part of the regime that fucked the brand so hard, huh?

Of course he was part of that regime. You can speculate (on the negative end of the spectrum, naturally) how much influence he had, but logic would dictate if he had as much influence as you'd like us to believe, he'd have quietly moved on like all the others. But instead he's not only still there but now he's the Xboss.

Either way how much influence he had is irrelevant. You said he'd be singing a different tune with different strategies had their sales increased 15 million, I am just pointing out that's a worthless observation because they ALL would be singing different tunes with much different strategies in that scenario :)
