2007 was the best xbox line up ever.

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?

I'm sorry but you couldnt be more wrong.  

 

Brand power?  

 

I just said halo 3 in 2007 outsold all the Exclusives in 2015 combined.  

 

The brand power of the 2007 games are much bigger. 

 

Yeah tomb raider is big,  just not on xbox.  

Forza isn't anything special anymore.  

Halo has seen a huge decline.  

 

As I said it's no longer a debate.  2007 wins by any metric so you can't cherry pick one to suit your argument.
