Wow. Only 1 Reggie comment before mine? Thought he would have been the favourite..

Phil I'd very likeable but I think he hasn't spent enough time at the top to be considered against others. Tretton was annoying... To me, anyway.

I admire the nice guys. Phil Spencer is in my good books.

Is Phil Spencer the most likable executive in gaming? 

No Shuhei Yoshida (@yosp on twitter) is the most likealbe person in gaming.

Whilst he seems like an extremely competent executive, I don't think he is especially "likeable". On stage he seems incredibly wooden, and doesn't he change his T-Shirt a lot?

Most likeable, for me at least, would be Shuhei Yoshida by far, he is just extremely likeable. Adam Boyes has his funny moments and seems genuinely passionate about what he does. Mark Cerny is so intelligent he raises the IQ of all around him when he speaks, and Jack Tretton (my least favourite executive on the Sony side) did have that American Jock style confidence about him that was appealing.

Of the Microsoft executives, I can't say much for them. Phil is by FAR the best, but that isn't saying too much when you are comparing him to the likes of Mehdi or the now axed Mattrick. As I said in the beginning, he seems very competent, but he isn't exactly electric on the stage!

Come on all hes done is follow a very basic game plan as far as pr and happens to come from people that have dropped the ball multiple times which make him look that much better.

Naaa... its got to be Shu. That game has single handedly become playstation sustomer service. The exec is going to go places. How can anyone not like him?

I mean his wiiU account got banned twice!!!!!!!

Shu the GOAT

Phil is definitly great, but Shuhei Yoshida his the best! Love him

@yosp probably still has the crown. That is not to say Spencer is bad, shu has an almost cult like following.

Shu is definitely my favorite, but in pachter's own words, Phil is a stud.
