No. Why would they? They're nothing but a gimmick to get players to overplay their games as fast as possible, hit an illusory "wall" where there is supposedly nothing left to do, and then rush out to buy new games for MOAR POINTS.
Replay isn't profitable, and Achievements/Trophies are the cure. Quite a brilliant one too, if the attach rate of the 360 is any indication. It's a shame that it's had such a harmful effect on those markets, even if it was predictable.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
