Microsoft has officially confirmed that Phil Harrison is no longer with the company, revealing that he chose to leave in order to seek out a fresh challenge. GamesIndustry.biz reported that Harrison was leaving Microsoft in March, after several sources confirmed rumours of his departure.

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer issued a statement exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz regarding Harrison leaving, wishing the executive all the best as he pursues those new interests.

"Following a successful tenure as Corporate Vice President in Xbox in Europe, Phil Harrison has chosen to pursue business interests outside of Microsoft," Spencer's statement reads.

"Phil has been a distinguished leader for our European Xbox team - overseeing production at our award-winning European studios and making a substantial contribution to the Xbox business globally. I want to thank Phil for his creativity and leadership over the past three years. Phil is a great friend of mine and I wish him the very best with his future endeavours."

Based on his current run of Sony, Atari, MS. 
Next up must be Sega or Nintendo.

But there's already people in Nintendo that can do the job to tank Nintendo. XD

I would say maybe next is Ubisoft, EA or Activision?
