I voted 2007.

New IPs include: Assassin's Creed, BioShock, Crackdown, Crysis, Mass Effect, Portal, The Witcher, Uncharted, Peggle, Rock Band

Established IPs include: Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Super Mario Galaxy, Unreal Tournament 3, Virtua Fighter 5, God of War 2, Guitar Hero 3, Super Paper Mario, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, Resident Evil 4, Forza 2, Persona 3, Ratchet & Clank Future; Tools of Destruction

1998 is a close second, though. I also think 2015 will be up there too.
