You're right, 2007 was probably the last good year for the 360. 7 AAA games on Game Rankings (All of those of the $60.00 store bought variety and 4 of them exclusives -- which isn't a great year in comparison to most of the PS2's best but we'll give them a good year for it anywhile) while it only had 6 in 2007 (but only 4 of those were of the store bought $60.00 variety and only one of those was an exclusive), and there is no reason to believe that 2009 will be any better for the 360.
Edit And at least one major site agrees that that is a likely possibility:
Predictions for the 360 for '09 games:
'09 Games Fail to Measure up to Quality of '07/'08
"It would be tough for us to be wrong on this one, though we'd be happy if we were. There is no question about it; the past two years have produced some fantastic games. From Mass Effect to Halo 3, Gears of War to BioShock and on, the Xbox 360 has seen some spectacular games. Comparatively, what has been announced for 2009 thus far seems slim. Granted, not everything that will come out this year has been revealed yet, but even with a few surprises it would have trouble living up to the past couple of years."
