There was respectable content like Halo Wars 2

Halo Wars 2 wasn't as great as the first game.
It's multiplayer was also dead a few days after release in Oceania, making a large chunk of the game all but useless.

Also not exclusive as it is also on PC.

Forza 7

Goes without saying as it's a yearly milked franchise.
Racing games aren't mah thang anyway.

Also not exclusive as it is also on PC.

Probably the best Xbox game of the year. - But that makes the platform seem sad as it's only an "arcade" title.

PUBG is an honorable mention

A buggy, ugly, un-optimized PC port? Nah.

Also not exclusive as it is also on PC.

Never heard of it. Also on Steam so I will check it out. Thanks.

So even if the exclusives are lacking there was plenty of notable 3rd party content.

But every platform has tons of notable 3rd party content.

I am pretty sure the Playstation 4 gets more 3rd party content than the Xbox anyway thanks to it's abundance of support from Japanese developers which often release games on PC/Mobile/Switch/3DS but not Xbox.
Can't be arsed looking at the game library comparisons right now though, but looking at multiplatform game counts the Playstation 4 beats the Xbox One.

 Hence, saying it was a shitty year implies you're oblivious to the countless multiplat games.

I have heaps of other platforms. Why would I buy the Xbox One X version of PUBG when the game is clearly superior on my PC? At-least on my PC I can actually have 30fps.

The Xbox One as a platform has had a shit year. There are a few bright spots which I alluded to, such as the Xbox One X, but that is as far as my praise can go.

As far as big budget retail games, it looks MS has that covered in early 2018. Maybe some surprises for the holiday as well.

There are a ton of games that have my interest picked in 2018. Namely Sea of Thieves, so hopefully it's a solid title, Xbox needs to start smashing games out of the park... And I need a reason to actually turn my Xbox One X on and invest in a game or two.

No doubt that 2017 was the worst year for Xbox as far as games is concerned, the moving of titles into 2018, cancellation of titles and studio's hasn't helped matters in the slightest.

I have played my SNES classic more this year than the Xbox, doesn't that just say it all?
