This question was asked 2 years ago and it's an even better question to ask now. Look at the X1/PS4 lineups at launch, it's basically sports and these FPS games that are just demos with multiplayer. Why would a company build a complex game with progression and a detailed story when they can just throw the FPS crowd in a room together and let them entertain themselves?

I hope this FPS fad, (demos with multiplayer) dies before Virtual Reality kills it. Who would chose to play in the floating camera mode with a gun hovering in your face, when you can play in actual first person view (Virtual Reality)? It's pretty clear the days are numbered for the boring FPS games. You can only release the same thing over and over again for so long, before people get tired of it.

PS: I've played CoD Ghosts and BF4 for a few days now and the multiplayer is already repetitive boredom. The only gem in this next-gen console launch is Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. This is a true open world game with a surprising amount of content. I have played the previous Assassin's Creed games and did not like them near as much as this one. Hopefully games like this are the future and the hollow FPS games are just a sad memory.

The floating camera view with a gun hovering in your face is the least realistic way to play a game.

Look down, Do you see your feet?

Games have amazingly real character models and equipment textures, and you don't see any of that in FPS mode (besides maybe gloves). If I earn some flashy gear i wanna look at it.

Luckily this lame FPS view with die out soon because in the next few years the REAL First Person View will take over (Virtual Reality). 'Oculus Rift' is already available in Beta form and a more polished version is coming out as soon as next year. Another company is developing the 'castAR' glasses which are slightly different with cameras on each eye.
