Microsoft has regularly claimed that 2015 represents the "greatest games lineup in Xbox history," but 2016's offerings could be just as good or perhaps even better, that's according to marketing executive Yusuf Mehdi.
Speaking at the Credit Suisse Technology Conference in Arizona yesterday, Mehdi
commented that "gaming has been a pretty big success case" for Redmond, adding that in 2015 it "probably [had] the best year we've ever had for Xbox.
"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."
Games including
Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Forza Motorsport 6, and
Rise of the Tomb Raider have all been pointed to as justifications for Microsoft's claims regarding its lineup this year.
