How was this the X360's best year in software? It was only the best year thus far.
What all amazing games did MS launch that have absolutely no comparison in the future, ever? Halo 3? Maybe. But that's it.
Every major game this year will have a sequel. We're still getting great new IPs, and really good followthroughs.
The ironic thing is one of the better-selling European Xbox IPs hasn't had a followup game yet, and will release this year (Fable 2). Microsoft's 08 lineup is vastly more diverse than the shooter-heavy lineup we had this year.
Microsoft will have more 1m+ sellers in 08, than 07 did, and maybe even 06 did combined. GTAIV alone will move more software than 07's top 2 through 5.
Also, go look at Banjo-Kazooie's sales in the Other region on the N64. It sold about 70% of what the US did, despite the fact the N64 sold less units in Europe than the Xbox/360 did. Rare could score a 1m+ seller in BK in Europe, hopefully moving some hardware too.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
