To be fair they haven't made anything GotY worthy in a very long time

Yep. There hasn't been something that seemed huge since Gears 3. That was more than a decade ago. "Praise Phil" all you want, Xbox needs to do significantly better considering they are run by one of the richest companies in the world. Everything exclusive that Xbox has tried to build up since he has been in power has been Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, Bleeding Edge, Blair Witch, etc. All underwhelming. And if it's not that it's something that falls into the Halo / Gears / Forza sequel meme.

Some hope that Starfield is going to be the beginning of a change for Xbox, but we'll see.

Yeah XB 360 was a golden age and then XB just up and fell off a cliff. You can't promise things will improve 10 straight years in a row.

Haven’t owned an Xbox since the 360. So far haven’t felt like I missed anything ☹️

Forza 5 was a genuine GOTY though. It has a case for best racing game of all time. Had super high metacritic scores and everything.
