If you want to take issue with Microsoft's dispersal of titles across the year, thats cool.

But it reeks of cynicism to pretend that Microsoft doesn't have an extremely strong last quarter for 2015.

Want to argue some specific holiday period for another console in a bygone year was better? Even that might sound reasonable. But it just sounds bitter/jealous to throw out comments like "I hope thats not true for their sake."

Halo/Forza/Gears/Tomb Raider/Rare Replay might not be your cup of tea. But its petty to pretend they are insignificant.

It's all about Halo 5. Remove it or replace it with a lesser exclusive game and some fanboys would even argue that it is a lame line-up. Like some have been doing all year with the PS4 games.

I certainly commend them for the effort, but the lineup is pretty weak (for my tastes). Now if we examine it (without my preferences) the lineup is really solid, and probably the strongest of the three systems. Sadly, at least for me, it's the same tired franchises, and i'm not excited for any of it (except Tomb Raider which I want on PC).

Is he really saying they are getting a Gears of War game? That's stretching it a lot. Also he says "All in half a year, it isn't even a year." Which is both true and not true. It's true that they are all launching within a half year period, but it's also what the XBO has in terms of retail exclusives this whole year, afaik.

I think saying it can't get any better is really hyperbolic, but each to their own. I could easily see plenty of ways to have a better Xbox exclusive lineup (of course only using Xbox franchises.)

I think it's a good lineup, however their exclusives are al cramped in the already busy holiday schedule... So we agree on this, the guy is on the PR team, so obviously he will want us to think that each one of their exclusives is the best ever :-/

I have a hard time believing they will be truly amazing games, maybe Halo will be the breakthrough title for 343i... I think that thomb raider will fall flat, forza 6, well, it's very important for many, but they already have many racing sims, to be honest i forgot about the rest...

their cloud gameroject looks impressive when buildings are crumbling, however the game itself doesn't have an appealing look to it and it doea not have a release date, sonfor now it's more a pr tool than an actual game...

"Really, it can’t get any better than this..." Personally i think their 2016 line-up is miles ahead of 2015. Especially considered the actually have a big title releasing in the first half of the year.
