You answered your own question. No, I don't like it, but this has happened every single generation. It seems you just feel hard done by that your particular favorite genres aren't in the limelight anymore.

I agree with this, except FPS will be the major focus in three generations in a row.  Sixth(Xbox specifically,) seventh, and now eight gen, atleast going by how many FPS games are available at launch.   It's happened every gen but hasn't happened like this.  It's time to move onto something else I think, but with the medium being filled with a bunch of casual gamers who just want to run around and shoot stuff, developers are going to go where the money is at.

I wouldn't be surprised if focus shifted towards a new genre this generation however, platformers, RPGs and Sandbox games were still going strong with the rise of Fighters, RPGs, Sandbox and FPS in the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th generations respectively. The decline of COD with Ghosts may be hinting at that, but I don't doubt that the market will still be very serviceable there.

Also, if you wanna attribute the rise of FPS to the original Xbox because of Halo 2, then you'd also have to take Goldeneye 007 on the N64 into account. Just sayin'. :P
