True, but when I got Goldeneye, I didnt even know that it had splitscreen until I got it. Halo was different, i knew about it, but that didnt matter either cause I never used it. Nowadays splitscreen is worthless unless its online or co-op story. With online gaming rapidly becoming "the thing to do", offline takes a back seat IMO.

Statistics show offline still has a 3:1 advantage over online, and these were from last year. You're not representative of the market.

 

Is that games or gamers? 

 

Gamers.

 

Well that makes me wonder why the majority of developers seem to put the MP first, and campaign/offline modes last.  COD4, Halo 3 and R2 to name a few.  Cause lets face it, RPGs and platformers are the only genres that are excused of having online MP.  But now more and more people are screaming for even those games to have online MP.  I cant count the number of times I remember people saying how great Oblivion or Fable 2 would be great with an online/co-op mode of some type. And now more and more we are seeing those types of games offering online modes.  Probably because most games wont sell well without that feature, and another reason why offline splitscreen MP is an unnecessary feature.  Because if I had to bet, I would say online gamers buy more games.   Well anyway good talking to ya, you brought up some good points.
