Is FPS all that's left from the Arcade on PS3/360?

You aren't seriously trying to suggest that before Doom shooters were more popular on computers than in the arcades are you?

Equating first-person shooters with sidescrolling shooters is fallacious and ignores mechanical differences between the genre, which are the only differences that matter.

I wasn't trying to do that.

I'm talking aiming at a screen and pulling a trigger. Duck Hunt, Time Crisis.

But those are static shooters. Doom was one of the first (if not the first?) to allow you to move freely. That was huge.

And Time Crisis came out after Doom.
