One of the reasons for this is probably that all (minus Stadia, it seems) of the products you've mentioned might have had bad starts but ended up gigantic successes:

>PS3

performed extremely well, beating Xbox 360 by a fairly thin margin.

>Gaikai

sold for $380M USD to Sony (most people consider this a success, even if you think it should have been more.)

>Xbox One

lost to the PS4 by a factor of two but was still successful (50 million est. lifetime sales)

Even if every single thing he was in charge of failed catastrophically, anyone who isn't looking closely is going to see someone with a huge amount of industry expertise working on some of the largest and most successful products to ever exist full stop (not just in gaming.)

You'd expect that at this level of responsability and salary, the background check would be more than just a single scroll on his wikipedia page, but then again a clown is pretty much only hired for a circus, half of those taking those decisions have failed upwards themselves too.

Everything you mentioned has gotten successful both late in its existence, and very much after Harrison left.
