I mean the vocal component of a fanbase that complains about things online is a tiny share of the overall audience; Halo 4 was the third highest selling retail video game of 2012. And a number of the listed games came after 2010.

Crackdown 3 sucks and fable 3 was a disappointment. Metro 2033 was hardly a green game on metacritic during the 7th generation when journalists were more forgiving. Alan awake was a boring game.

Only good games you listed was splinter cell conviction and Witcher 2. Still pales in comparison to what PS3 offered and proving my point 360 second half was disappointing.

Also, I have to wait four years for Microsoft to fix their console and to buy it again? What a joke.

Taste is subjective; many people liked games like Alan Wake, Fable 3, and Metro. It's just not accurate to say there was nothing outside of Halo/Gears/Forza.

RROD was a misstep, but for most of the 360's life it was solved.

RROD / E74 uncertainty, paid online, lackluster back half line-up, DVD not containing the full game, focus on Kinect. While Sony turned their disastrous start around with great games people wanted, MS did the opposite and ran out of steam / lost focus chasing Wii's blue ocean with Kinect shovel ware. It made for some hilarious E3 content though.
