In 6ish years, Phil has managed to convince Satya to go from thinking about closing Xbox to promoting Phil to Microsoft's Senior Leadership Team alongside folk at the very top of Microsoft including Satya himself. Then allowed to acquire a dozen or so studios, then allowed to acquire a major publisher, then allowed to acquire the biggest in the world and promoted to CEO of his own division.

People will say "but Microsoft has money!" blah blah blah, thinking that Microsoft as one of the most successful businesses in the world is in the habit of throwing money into something without any sort of plan, Phil had a plan and he convinced the CEO of Microsoft of his plan, now we're here and Gaming for Microsoft is making more money than ever before and is soon close to taking over Windows in revenue.

It's seriously impressive and 10 years ago I could never have imagined Xbox One era Xbox as getting this far.

This was all in 6 years as well which honestly isn't that long, if not for COVID as well the situation would have been even better.
