The FPS genre hit a wall a LONG time ago, I've only seen minor innovation in the past 8 odd years. Exception to the matter is portal, Metroid FPS(which is usually classified as an adventure) and possibly Eldar scrolls(not sure what the first real RPGFPS is), but overall the genre is played out. All you can do is put new skins on the same old formula. MAG might have something going for it, we will have to see how it plays out. I really wish the genre would just have like 5-10 FPS's released a year rather than the regular 52 a year.
Killzone, Halo 3, Resistance(Ive only played 1), The Darkness, Prey, Bioshock are all games that could be done 10 years ago(obviously not HD graphics wise). Their true merit is in their multiplayer experience, which the first 3 I have mentioned have rich communities.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
