RE4's directly stronger than The Witcher III, so '05 has that on lockdown, barring rally nonsense.
While I agree that RE4 probably trumps any one game from 2015, it seems to me that 2005 doesn't have much else going for it. I know Phoenix Wright and SOTC are very beloved, but aren't they also quite niche? Perhaps I'm wrong in thinking this, but I don't see them pushing all that many votes.
Meanwhile, 2015 has a Fallout, MGS, and Souls(ish). It's also recent enough that it doesn't rely on whatever is featured nearly as much as 2005.
