Yes, co-op probably would work better than multiplayer. However, I say that no game developer (regardless of the genre and target audience) should be afraid to include more than just single-player. And even if that doesn't come out very good, its game designers can always make further changes, until everything feels just right. It's probably inevitable that co-op and multiplayer will be found in more games, even ones that are primarily SP-only like RPGs, adventure games, etc. And excluding other game modes only hinders innovation. So, I definitely think that we need more Sony-owned game franchises to tackle the co-op and multiplayer path, if we are going to see the PS3/PS4 dominate with its popularity and sales. Also, it'll be more likely to draw in new people, which is a good thing.
A lot of SP-only gamers here will probably complain and say otherwise. Yet, game developers' misdirection and/or mismanagement is the biggest factor in a game failing to deliver up to its hype than including additional modes of play. It's a myth to say that SP will die or that a game's overall value will go down after it includes co-op and/or MP.
