I'll never understand the reason for all the hate that FPS get.
The reason why FPS or first person in general games have become so prevalent this gen is that now that 3D gaming has been fully realized after expanding and going through some serious growing pains in the previous 2 generations, the first person perspective is the most immersive and lends itself well to 3D games the same way that side scrolling platformers and action games were staples of the 2D era.
Couple that with a mainstay gameplay element going all the way back to the Atari days... shooting things... and there's your answer why these types of games are so popular and common nowadays.
Plus, with the FP perspective, you don't have to worry about annoying camera issues that have plagued many a 3rd person action / platformer game over the past three generations and continue to do so.
