Super Mario 64. I just prefer the genre.
Critically I'd say Super Mario 64 is the most revered.
Halo had a huge impact for the Xbox brand and had a huge impact on console FPS going forward.
Soul Calibur was a masterpiece and is probably my favourite fighting game still. However I don't think it leaves the same legacy that the others did. Too many sequels and iterations that haven't really evolved the franchise since it's Dreamcast days.
Top 5 Most Anticipated Games:
- Quantum Break
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Destiny
- The Division
- Final Fantasy XV
none of these..
But if one of them, then Soul calibur.
Soul Calibur is the best of these three. It's aged really well, too.
But the best launch game of all time is Wii Sports.

Man that was hard. I chose Soul Calibur simply because its impact on me was bgger than any other game I have played Before or since. I was not only the best looking game at the time, but one of the greatest arcade ports ever made and the only fighting game I have devoted weeks too.
Halo, but for reasons other then the obvious one that I love Halo.
Xbox was a newcomer and it needed a game to prove it was a contender. Halo was that game. Mario 64 was allready established as Nintendo's go-to IP. People knew what Nintendo and Mario were all about where as Halo shaped Xbox's identity overnight.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
N64 with Mario 64. 
All three are among the greatest games of all time. But I voted SM64.
However, Super Mario 64 was truly unprecedented in every aspect. There had never, ever been anything like that on home consoles before.
Halo owes a little something to Goldeneye 007 for making FPS on consoles a thing.
Sega had made several other great fighters before Soul Caliber. Amongst the Dreamcast's catalog of amazing fighting games, one or more could arguably considered just as good as Soul Caliber ever was -- depending on your tastes of course.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Very true.
Objective non-troll question, if the Xbox only launched with Halo and only one other game, would the game and the console itself achieved the same critical success? Because that is the situation that was carved out for the N64. Only 2 launch games!

I'd think so. No matter what XBox had numerically at launch, Halo would have taken the spotlight regardless.
