"Think of the shooters on PC - it's easy to classify them or to replace them with an equivalent on console. But my good man, MP shooters like Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance - truly fantastic with no equivalent on PC. These games are so much fun."
No it's not? Counter Strike GO? What's the equivalent of that? PUBG? Oh uh ... I guess Xbox is getting that ... monthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs down the line. What's the Xbox's equivalent of Dirty Bomb? Day of Infamy? Insurgency? Arma? Honestly, and I say this as someone who got super into gaming with a 360, even games like Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege are completely different on PC then on a console - and in an only positive way. Hell, Battlefield on consoles couldn't even come close to replicating it's PC counterpart until this generation, and even then it's very clear they're holding back features because of the console crowd..

You chose one franchise that is known for it's singleplayer and two franchises that are completely dead? Are you trolling us right now : P ?
"Arma 2 - looked it and it looks like a military shooter to me like SOCOM. I am talking about the looting, crafting, stealth part. PUBG looks like they took the concept of TLoU's MP and expanded it to include my elements."
You kidding me dude? Arma 2 is a military simulator, Socom is just a tactical shooter. PUBG doesn't have crafting, it doesn't have Zombies, it's an open world game. It's basically streamlining the Arma 2 mod Day Z, which has existed since 2012 and reached 1 million players in 4 month. It's a battle arena with a big wide open map. As someone who's played The Last of US MP and thought it was really good, it's almost nothing like it.

Rainbox Siege 6? Even TLoU is a tactical shooter. And I never heard of the other games you mentioned.
Is it Uncharted's fault that it has some of best singleplayer campaigns out there? It excels at both SP and MP. Just like the other games mentioned. Just because the devs wanted to do something different doesn't change anything to the fact there's nothing like them on there.
And Arma 2 is a military simulator - oh :(

...."Rainbox Siege 6"... you mean Rainbow Six Siege? The Last of Us is not a "tactical shooter". It's a third person shooter that can occasionally require tactics in it's multiplayer. That doesn't make it a tactical shooter.
It's fine if you haven't heard of the other games(something I doubt very much), but that doesn't make them inconsequential. Counter Strike GO is one of the most popular shooters ever, it's consistently held 500,000 players since 2012. Arma is also one of the most popular "shooter" games on the market currently, it consistently 30k players which is a very healthy playerbase(a lot of which was taken up by PUBG). Keep in mind PUBG will probably be no were close to the million it's at on steam on consoles. I'll admit the other games I listed were more niche, I really enjoy them though and if they were on consoles the player count would be in the hundreds instead of thousands. I can name more if you want?
But you highlighted two dead franchises....
