You have to consider that the game industry and the ways it develops have changed through the years though. You can't really expect the same results from the Nintendo/PS era to happen all the way up to this point. What I mean is that there's no guarantee that shooters will fade away and leave room for a new genre to take over, and if it does happen, when would it happen? fast enough as to keep us hooked to this hobby?. The next generation doesn't show sights of going to be different anyway, Killzone 4 will be out by the end of the year and there's already talk of the next Battlefield and CoD.
But I'm not just talking about shooters here, I'm talking about the bending that shooters is having with other genres. It might be the easiest and most successful way to interact with enemies in games, but because of that it is keeping othe ideas from being developped and growing to success. That's why most of PS3's library is based around games that involve shooting and why the Wii was looked down for a long time.
