Are people just picking the year that has the one game they like the most? Objectively speaking I don't see how some of these years are winning over others. For example 1994 winning over 2004 is mind boggling to me. 2004 introduced some of the most game changing elements that we still use today and defined last decade.

Steam
World of Warcraft (MMO explosion)
Source Engine
Nintendo DS Launch

Halo 2
Half Life 2
Counter Strike Source
GTA: San Andreas


Final Fantasy VI (considered by many in the industry, at all levels, to be the best FF game ever)
Super Metroid (considered by most to be the best Metroid game ever)
X-Com: UFO Defense (a genre starting classic)
Warcraft (the only reason WoW even exists)
Descent (if you weren't old enough to play it at the time you wouldn't understand, but incredibly groundbreaking)
Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles (the best of Sonic by a far margin)
Shining Force II (one of the best tactical RPGs ever and probably the reasons FFT exists)
Donkey Kong Country (a massive evolution in platform gaming)
Mega Man X (another classic)

You are discounting some of the most influential games ever made, most of which still hold up today, even when compared with modern equivalents.
