This has been the trend for ages now. It started with games like Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena. Now consoles are becomming more online oriented it's happening with them too. It has a lot to do with the popularity of the FPS genre which will eventually die down due to oversaturation. It is a little annoying that the SP component of a lot of games is now seemingly pushed aside and shortened. There are still good SP games out there though:
Bioshock
Half-Life + Episodes
Portal
Mass Effect
Uncharted 2
Assassins Creed 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Metal Gear Solid 4
If people like multiplayer then fair enough. I do pity them (those who only play MP) though, as they won't get to experience some of the brilliance of the SP of the games above. One trend that's definately been a bonus this gen though is the addition of co-op campaign modes. It's a lot more fun playing through the campaign with friends than on your own.
