I hate to blew your bubble, but saying FPS is one of the dominant genres since the early 1990s is full of shit. That genre was first made a noticeable appearance with doom and Duke Nuke'm, and it was something fresh for pc gaming. Then around 95 or 96 when 3D accelerators(add on card for pc) was first introduced, developers take advantage of it to show case the power of these card with FPS. The genre boomed when valve introduced Half Life with their free kick ass word editor tools, PC users completely hooked on to it with the introduction of mod Counter Strike map. FPS is already in a decline among PC users, but for console it is at its peak right now.
