Might not be a hot-take a lot of people agree with ... well, then again, I guess that's what makes it a hot-take : P But here goes: 

The Xbox 360's high profile third party exclusives are as good as a Playstation consoles. Dead Rising, Mass Effect, and Tales of Vesperia are great, probably some of my favorites of all time. And while I don't really like it, Bioshock is a pretty important game, too. We could also include Gears in that now that I'm thinking about it, since Microsoft didn't actually buy the franchise till 2014, and didn't own Epic Games.

I think this aspect of the 360 is a bit more underplayed in hindsight because a lot of those games ended up multiplatform the same generation, but if you look at a lot of third party exclusives on Playstation consoles that is the case as well (especially on the PS2).
