Even 2012 was pretty damn good, contrary to the narrative I so often hear (and which has never made sense to me) that 360's later life was disappointing.

Halo 4, Dishonoured, Max Payne 3, Black Ops II, Far Cry 3, Spec Ops: The Line, Forza Horizon, Sonic All Star Racing Transformed, all excellent.

Looking at the list from a 360 perspective it is a good year, but a lot of the narrative was was built around comparisons with PS3 and if you take away the multiplats you start to see the beginning of ( true or not) the Halo Forza Gear's box narrative.

The 360's later life had console exclusives outside of those too like Witcher 2, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell Conviction, Metro 2033, Fable III, Trails Evolution, Bastion, (at the time) etc.

I guess the fact some of these were on PC and games like Uncharted getting more hype feeds into the narrative that 360 was lacking in it's later years, but honestly as a 360 owner it was absolutely on fire from 2010-2012 and I could hardly have been happier with it.
