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 :)

And I'm sure you'll speculate on the most positive end of that spectrum (naturally ).  Of course, that would be naive.  Saying he had little to do with the direction of Xbox is like saying Shuhei Yoshida has little to do with the direction of PS.  And they have been in different positions, just last gen.  Sony wasn't bitching and moaning about "unfair" business practices from MS.  Nor were they underhandedly trying to bypass exclusive marketing deals that MS had worked out.  They humbled themselves and made a much better plan for this gen.  MS should really try to do the same, cause the constant hypocritical crying is getting old.
