Have Single player games be come a thing of the past?

I think in general most people like to have a social experience, i.e. play with others as opposed to just play by themselves. I mean even back in the NES days Mario was such a big hit because people could do couch co-op. Nowadays you have even better options with MP. That's why so many games have MP to keep people coming back to play with friends.

That being said I believe SP games absolutely have their place. There are great SP games and successful ones at that. I love my good dose of RPG games which are mostly SP.
