Sorry for the confusion. I didn't like those two games that much, but I can see why some people do, and to shrug them off as flukes that are the only reason the 360 is popular seems so ridculous to me. I think Halo and Halo 2 put Xbox on the map. I think Halo 3 and Gears turned the Xbox 360 into a force to be reckoned with and a serious contender in the console race. And in the meantime we got TONS of good games for the 360 that gave even more people a reason to buy it. Hell, even I couldn't resist buying a 360 after awhile, and I have been a PC gamer almost my whole life.
Also, for the record, I don't see as many people making these ridiculous claims on this site, which is why I like it so much.
