Difference is your talking about Xbox's biggest franchises its ever had release in the same time period. Plus adding Rare's Replay which also has some of the greatest games ever made and the entire Gears Collection aswell. 

Rare's Replay (One of the best collection of classic games ever made)

Gears Of War Collection (One of the best 3rd Person Cover based games ever made)

Halo 5 (One of the best all time FPS franchises in the gaming industry)

Forza 6 (One of the best Racing franchises on the market)

Fable Legends (?)

Tomb Raider (One of the most recongiseable names in gaming)

That list of games in terms of brand power is by far the biggest in Xbox history and probably even one of the biggest in history. Theres a game out there for everyone and each game holds its own in its own catagory. Fable Legends isnt out yet and i am sure it will hit the market soon. With franchises like that, how can it not be the biggest Xbox line-up in history? Put reviews aside because we are talking best line-up not best scores. Also today reviews are alot more strick.

So you want to play the biggest card?  Halo 3 in 2007 sold better than all the 2015 exclusives combined. 

 

Add on lost oddesy,  forza 2, tomb raider anniversary,  Bioshock,  mass effect,  project Gotham,  the orange box,  blue dragon,  beautiful Katamari and it's a slaughter. 

 

So no matter what angle,  critically,  number of exclusives,  sales or how the general gaming community accepted these 2007 is infinitely better.

 

I thought it was a debate when I made this thread until people pointed out all the 2007 exclusives I'd missed.  Hell it took 8 months for Xbox to get a retail exclusive this year and that was a remastered 360 game.  

Your comparing Sales and reviews. I am comparing brand power. Mass Effect, Bioshock, Beutiful Katamari, Lost Oddesy and Blue Dragon were new IPs  no one new about them so how does a new IP have a big selling name? It doesnt until its released and reviewed. This recent holiday line-up holds names that people already know about. The Halo, Forza, Gears, TR Reboot names have become the house hold names in gaming. Everyone knows what Forza is where as PGR fails in comparison as an example.

Dont get me wrong, 2007 was a great year in gaming for Xbox aswell however interms of franchises releasing togother, 2015 has it beat.

I am curious to know why you mention Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssy and Beutiful Katamari when those games did not sell well and had average reviews. Were you trying to strenghten your argument there?
