2004 is the first year that came immediately to mind. The holiday season was absolutely packed, with Metal Gear Solid 3, GTA: San Andreas, Halo 2, and Metroid Prime 2 all releasing in a fairly short window.

Earlier in the year were quite a few other notable titles, including: Half Life 2, Ninja Gaiden (Xbox), Katamari Damacy, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, as well as other entries in both the Metroid and MGS series (Zero Mission and Twin Snakes respectively)

A couple of my personal favorites also released that year: Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

I'm not into MMORPGs myself, but both World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XI released that year as well.

Finally, 2004 saw the release of the Nintendo DS. It was initially met with skepticism but eventually went on to become the second highest selling piece of videogame hardware ever released behind only the PS2.
