2007 was the best xbox line up ever.

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?

Bioshock - huge hype due to being successor to System Shock games.

Beautiful Katamari was the 3rd home console game in the series. It wasn't COD level sales, but at the time it game out, it was considered a successful franchise.

Lost Oddesey was OMG exclusive Square Enix RPG.

Blue Dragon was OMG Final Fantasy creator has written it.

There was hype and brand power behind them. Though now you bring in meta and sales, having just said they're nothing to do with your argument... Also having these "mediocre, poor selling" Japanese games vs 2015 not having anything of the sort does nothing but strengthen 2007's position.
