So are FPS "in" now? (It must be the end of the world.)

When Halo was crowned the king of Console FPS, Dissenters we're sipping the hateorade for years, but with most impressive CoD4, the visual Crysis and a sequel to a mediocre last gen FPS, (but this time with great animation and blood) FPS is all we're talking about now.

There was always "too many FPS" and "its why the xbox failed"but nowthe 360 has RPGs from the best in the industry and the most variety than any other NG console, yet this genreof shooters alone will save the PS3?

I don't think that FPS alone will save the Ps3 but it certainly would help to have a FPS that is possible to pick up and play that ,say a halo had. Killzone 2 looks pretty and looks promising for the PS3 , but if it is to complex and gameplay is choppy it won't suceed no matter how good it looks

He's not saying that the PS3 has no variety. He's saying that the Xbox has been criticized for "only having FPSes," when now Sony fanboys are saying that KZ2, Haze, and UT3 are going to pull them ahead this generation.

Shooters are tailored for online and consistently deliveraction-packed matches. Racers can leave players behind and become one dimensional, mmorpgs are not my cup of teas; and thats it, what else is their?: sports games are mostly1 on 1, action games are single player or co-op, online gaming is here to stay and so are shooters; ps3 better get on board.

If your trying to get smart ass it's not working the statement made by the TC is basically declining the thought that society's perception of different genre's hasn't changed, then please do explain how the Wii is selling.

As generations go on, kids get stupider, and since kids these days are so technically-savvy and blood-thirsty punks, and are the main type of people that play video games, game-makers will make FPS games to satisfy these baby-gamer's needs.
