@poke claudel: Metroid 2 didn't have multiplayer on GC?
Why this question, people are not asking Bungie to make a platformer, Polyphony Digital to make a hack and slash? I think it's normal they cater in the genre that they excel, and FPS is not their kind of game even of they have 2nd party studio that could pull out some good one (Retro).
But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.
