Eh, i think nintendo is probably more to blame for making fps games popular with goldeneye.  

Wasn't Rare the one who made the game? Besides, while Golden Eye was very popular it didn't influence the market as much as Call of Duty. I mean Golden Eye did 7 million which is awesome but Call of Duty manages to do 20 million for each installment. Also Halo helped popularize the genre. I don't think it's Nintendo's fault at all xD.

Yeah, rare made it... When they were owned by nintendo.  Also, we are talking about who made the genre popular, not what is popular now.  Halo and call of duty are popular, successful fps games, but the genre was already popular before they came to the market.
