Cow Goes Moo · Dec 2, 2015

2015 may have had the "greatest games lineup in Xbox history,", but 2016's lineup could be even better, according to Microsoft's marketing exec Yusuf Mehdi.

Teasing Xbox One's 2016 lineup at the Credit Suisse Technology Conference in Arizona yesterday, Mehdi explained that "gaming has been a pretty big success case" for Microsoft, and that it "had probably [had] the best year we've ever had for Xbox" in 2015.

"And it's on the back of the greatest games lineup in Xbox history," he said. "So if you like to game, this is the year to get an Xbox. We have Halo 5 launching. We have Minecraft on Xbox. We have Gears of War, Tomb Raider. The best lineup; next year will also be the best lineup."

Well, Quantum Break does look fucking fantastic.

Finaj · Dec 2, 2015

I'm curious of what else they will announce. Hopefully we see something new at the Game Awards this week.

demosthenes · Dec 2, 2015

That last paragraph :lol.

Pack it up folks, he just won the argument.

Leflus · Dec 2, 2015

The bestest lineup in Xbox History.

Geek · Dec 2, 2015

Bold prediction: Microsoft also thinks it has the best 2017 lineup.

Mifune · Dec 2, 2015

It's shaping up to be pretty great on paper. Quantum Break, Crackdown, Scalebound, Below (finally).

Primethius · Dec 2, 2015

Every year is the best lineup when you game on Xbox One.

Pound_lb003 · Dec 2, 2015

So to boil it down:

"[this year we had t]he best lineup; next year will also be the best lineup."

Which year is better?

Hmm.

FIGHT!

Majine · Dec 2, 2015

Are they saying the Xbox One is hittings its stride?

Jack The Nipper · Dec 2, 2015

If this year was the best, I have no idea why

Lol yeah, he didn't even have to mention Forza XY, flawless victory!

TheSpoiler · Dec 2, 2015

No way. Xbox 1 had the best lineup.

Did you see Brute Force?

darthsontin · Dec 2, 2015

They have Minecraft! Best lineup ever.

It always puzzles me why people are so quick to piss on MS PR.

Was not 2015 a great year for games on the X1?

Does not 2016 look to be also a great year for games on the X1?

harSon · Dec 2, 2015

PR fuckery aside, I can't wait for Quantum Break and Scalebound

darkwing · Dec 2, 2015

what year is this

Blackleg-sanji1 · Dec 2, 2015

If your shocked by this people need new pr detectors lol. I've been saying 2016 looks way better anyway tho.

johnnydrama · Dec 2, 2015

With Quantum Break, Scalebound, Crackdown, ReCore, Gears of War 4, Forza, Cuphead, Halo Wars 2, it does look pretty fucking fantastic to me.

Hibiki Kurosawa · Dec 2, 2015

according to Microsoft's marketing exec Yusuf Mehdi.

Ya don't say!

Noobcraft · Dec 2, 2015

The best games lineup in Xbox history just got... Best'er-er.

Lol.

Halo Wars 2

RespectThySole · Dec 2, 2015

Lol at the last paragraph.

2016 looks to be the best lineup they've had in years though if the majority of them turn out well.

Outrun · Dec 2, 2015

He did not have to mention ReCore either...

SEGAvangelist · Dec 2, 2015

2016 looks like the best I've seen in a long time for MS, IMO. Can't disagree with Yusuf here, but Yusuf gonna Yusuf.

Bog · Dec 2, 2015

Of all the publishers putting out games for Xbox next year, Microsoft has the best lineup.

Because 2007 happened :L

AlStrong · Dec 2, 2015

PS4 has breast line-up tho.

Bessy67 · Dec 2, 2015

I mean, it's obviously pr speak but 2016 does look like it will be pretty good for Xbox.

Altered Juice · Dec 2, 2015

according to Microsoft's marketing exec Yusuf Mehdi.

Minecraft on Xbox

Tomb Raider

Shenmue · Dec 2, 2015

Seems like Xbox has taken the "is ______ the year of the playstation?"

fantomena · Dec 2, 2015

Phil said 2015 was the best games lineup in history of the Xbox.

IM CONFUSED!!!!

WaffleTaco · Dec 2, 2015

Quantum Break
Scalebound
Crackdown
Halo Wars 2
Gears 4
Sea of Thieves
Recore
Forza Horizon 3

Fable Legends??

Maxim726X · Dec 2, 2015

I thought they stuck Yusuf in a corner somewhere after the E3 debacle?

He's still a part of the PR team?

oti · Dec 2, 2015

"Totes sorry guys but next year will be TRASH for Xbox!" - Microsoft manager

Ninja Scooter · Dec 2, 2015

The greatest lineup in the history of our sport.

MightyHedgehog · Dec 2, 2015

And ReCore, Halo Wars 2, Gears of War 4, Gigantic, and Fable Legends. Definitely more fresh and exciting-sounding than 2015, anyway.

BeforeU · Dec 2, 2015

Microsoft is pumping out great games since the launch. Next year going to be awesome as this year.

FH3
QB
Gears 4

Is all I want.

Tom Nook Sawyer · Dec 2, 2015

Microsoft thinks Microsoft has best line-up yet. Shocker

Can't wait to read the same article again next year

Rymuth · Dec 2, 2015

Every year is the best lineup but its' simultaneously not the bestest lineup because that's also the previous/next year

We Schrodinger Lineup now, folks.

I see what you did there~

Ricky_R · Dec 2, 2015

Man, I'm missing out.

Dee Dah Dave · Dec 2, 2015

They got Crackdown coming so I would tend to agree!

Ricky Ricardo · Dec 2, 2015

Gears of War 4
Halo Wars 2
Quantum Break
Scalebound
Crackdown 3
ReCore
Cuphead

Other stuff too. Sounds like a pretty solid year to me.

Nephtes · Dec 2, 2015

I'm sorry, but as an Xbox fan and an even bigger Street Fighter fan... If that lineup doesn't include Street Fighter V, their claim of "best lineup" is null and void in my opinion.

Yeah, wasn't that good.

Halo 5 is a sub 7 easily imo
Tomb raider isn't like it should be.
Forza was decent

But honestly

Until dawn, bloodborne, soma, and rocket were more appealing.

Definitely wasn't the best year for Xbox. May not even be top 6

By applying logic, you are killing GAF's fun. That is unacceptable, you take it back right now!

All PR is usually piss worthy. 2016 looks great for all consoles, but on my personal taste inn games PS4 have the edge.

Pound_lb003 · Dec 2, 2015

People are expecting Crackdown next year?

Looked so damn early at E3.

GeeTeeCee · Dec 2, 2015

Marketing exec says positive things about the company he works for. More to follow.
