It's probably selective stats that support their claim however who cares it's marketing and Microsoft isn't the only corporation that uses this tactic and it isn't just exclusive to video games its used everywhere.

I like Vice City due to nostalgia and the Scarface references better, however San Andreas was a larger innovative jump from the previous title than Vice City.
EA and Ubisoft are large publishers that have produced some great games but have also produced their fair share of garbage as well. EA was the one that added in the online pass crap that forced gamers to purchase brand new titles of sports games if you wanted to play online or download up-to-date rosters or pay an additional $10 for the online pass, but on the other hand I am one of those people that buy Madden, NHL, and FIFA every year because I'm a big sports fan so they get my money every year regardless due to my weakness of indulging in this genre. Although I feel that EA produces great titles like Battlefield 4, than they follow it up with Hardline that just sucked compared to BF4. Both corporations are obviously businesses and are in the business of making money so they do whatever they can to keep churning out whatever sells an example of this is in the past yearly updates of subpar Assassins Creed games and in EA's case subpar yearly instillments of sports titles. The other thing is that people including myself compare EA to other great companies such as Rockstar/2k, or Bethesda who countlessly churn out great products and support their titles over a longer period of time.
Vita was a waste for how much I used it, but I'm sure that there are others that would object. PS Move and peripherals I bought them on clearance a couple of years ago pure waste for me, I might have used it once. Wii balance board and overall Wii and Wii U in general as I bought them but rarely used them.
I don't know about top 5 but here are some really good games GTA V(obvious one), Gears 1-3, BioShock 1-2 and Infinite, Assassins Creed 2, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, LA Noire(Its a hit and miss with different audiences), Dead Space, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Mass Effect 1-3. I'm forgetting some but this should be a decent start.
